    In my first trimester I craved really acidic foods, like lemons and vinegar. I would suck the juice out of whole lemons and then eat them. It was so bad once that I went down to a cafe near where I worked and asked them for one of the lemons that they had in the bowl on display for decorative purposes. They gave it to me, thought it was strange and then told them I was pregnant and craving lemons. They still thought it was strange, but slightly less strange than before they knew I was pregnant.
    I used to also drown my hot chips in vinegar. I always like vinegar, but I would drown them so much they went soggy and there was always a pool of vinegar left afterwards, which I would drink up. There were times where I would also take a swig out of the vinegar bottle.

    Then during second trimester I craved Kiwi fruit. If it was a bit tart then it was better too.

    During 3rd trimester it was chocolate covered strawberries, or just strawberries on their own. By that time I couldn't stand vinegar or other acidic foods as they gave me heartburn.

    A friend of mine would eat raw flour straight outta the packet when she was pregnant - her DH would tell her off, he said it couldn't be healthy!

    When I was pregnant with DS2 I craved cheese doritos with vanilla ice cream on them. I also craved the smell of sunscreen which was odd.

    This pregnancy one of my biggest cravings was mashed avocado on hot chips... and nutri grain on ice cream.

    Mum used to eat raw potatoes when she was pregnant with me!

    I've been craving chicken nuggets, which really isn't that weird. Thought I suppose it is for me because I normally wouldn't eat them.

    I have drank soooo much orange juice this pregnancy I'm sure he's going to come out orange!! It has to be the Daily Juice pulp free one though.
    Have also had a thing for tomato sandwiches & eat DHs tomato off his plate when we're out for a meal.
    These are only weird to me because I absolutely HATE oranges & tomatos normally.

    The other thing that I craved was Pepsi. It couldn't be coke which is strange because I have always been a coke drinker. It had to be Pepsi. I also craved Sunkissed and KFC more than I normally do.
