Garlic prawns ... cannot remember when it started but couldn't get enough of them, then I caught up with my bestie one night and had a girls night out and we had Tom Yum Soup ... all I can say is THANK GOODNESS the restaurant is over an hour away
With DS, for the first 10 - 12 weeks I couldn't stand the smell of meat cooking, so I didn't really have cravings from the beginning. Then, between 11wks and 20wks it was chips and gravy from work and coke. From 21wks to 24wks it was Iced Chocolate drinks (food wise, I can't remember) and then from 25wks till basically the end, craved Frozen cokes and went back to chips and gravy (not very odd ) - oh and from bout 32wks I just had to have ice and chew down on it
With this one, from 5wks to bout 10wk, whenever I had a tiny bit of sour cream, I would just crave it (and I HATE sour cream with a passion!) and just want and want and want. From 10wks till 20wks it was green appples (couldn't be red, HAD to be green!) I also had (for bout 2 weeks) the craving for a beer. No particular brand, just the taste of beer. I did, however, have two small mouthfuls of a beer that was bought by a friend, and I felt satisfied. From 18wks to 25wks I had cravings for Vegemite on toast and now from bout 24wks till now I've not been able to get enough of chocolate or anything that's sweet (and I have sensitive teeth so you can imagine how horrible I feel afterwards!)
Oh and as for the munching on ice? That started again from 22-24wks
My cravings changed all the time and I was very susceptible to smell - if I could smell something I *Had* to have it. But the regular ones were:
vegemite toast, with or without melted cheese.
green veggies - including brussel sprouts which I ordinarily loathe
milo in ice cold milk
olives
smoked salmon/runny eggs - didn't indulge in those other than a couple of home cooked eggs towards the end.
bananas - even when stupidly expensive
Cereal. In fact, pretty much every meal I had for most of my pregnancy was s breakfast item!! I couldn't stand the smell or even sight of meat for ages so I pretty much had cereal for breaky, toast with vegemite for lunch, crumpets with nutella for dinner and yoghurt for snacks! The only meat I could go near for the first 20 weeks was canned tuna!! I did have a phase of living boiled pasta with tomato sauce and grated cheese from 20-30 weeks tho

Homebrand choc covered ice-cream... The expensive ones were too sweet!
Both pregnancies started 3rd trimester, although it did coincide with summer too...
Nothing other than that
