Your most unusual pregnancy craving?

[PumpkinZulu]

What's yours? I've had so many cravings, but they're generally pretty acceptable ones. My hugest 'normal' craving through this pregnancy has been blue Powerade. Cannot get enough of the stuff, even the 1 litre bottles don't do it for me anymore, I'm now onto buying the 8 litre powder

My unusual craving? Fabric softener!!! Omg! I just want to chug it! That, the toilet cleaner, chlorine, soap. I actually lick my bar of soap Just a little bit. I also have this huge oral fixation with chewing things, mainly clean clothes, or a facewasher. My mouth is literally watering thinking about it! Omg! I'm a freak I suspect it's pica, I've always had low iron and I take a supplement alongside my preggo vitamins. Mmmm, might need to go find a tshirt to chew on now...

So what's yours?

My worst pregnancy carving was the smell of petrol.. i used to smell it from a mile away, and when dh used to fill up, yep there i was sniffing it up lol!!
Not the healthiest craving but for some reason i loved the smell and still do..
The other one was chewing on skewers.. im not normal

[Arimeh]

Mango.

Not so unusual you say? Well considering I have always hated them, couldn't stand the smell of them even because I thought they smelt like a pair of dirty old socks - here is me in each pregnancy beside a heap of them in the Coles fruit and veggie section - breathing in deep. For ages. Couldn't get enough of it.

Thank god I dont have to do that any more lol

not really unusual I guess but this time round towards teh end I couldn't get enough of frozen coke. But it had to be real coke in the freezer & then I would smash it all up. I could do a 2 ltr bottle in matter of hours. very very unhealthy but its what my body wanted LOL

[Lolpigs]

mines not really unusual just unusual for me. Salted Chips, have to be kettle chips or the local greek takaway hot chips.

And citrus. and red frogs and cobbers (which i can only get from a lolly store in tasmania).. thankfully not all at once yet xD

[PumpkinZulu]

Lol I also remembered two others, but I think they're tame compared to fabric softener and petrol

Limes, just a plain lime. Mmmm! And chocolate and capers. Or capers mixed with chocolate ice cream!

[Cassius2]

potato vindaloo. all hours of the night. thankfully we had an indian joint down the road that apparently never shuts lol. poor DH had to many a midnight run

[~Hestia~]

With Moo I craved tomato, ham & cheese sanwiches. They had to be store bought at a particular bakery & made on multigrain bread. It's unusual because I've always despised tomatos but not anymore . Same with orange juice!

Enjoy your fabric softener!

Mine weren't too weird but I loved anything and everything banana flavored. Also loved crumbed chicken of any description and post mix coke I didn't drink it much but I did make DH get it for me (like RIGHT NOW ) at some odd times

[Cranky Kitten]

Hmmmm, I've never craved anything non-food but went nutzo over some olives and olive tapenade we picked up in Margaret River. Ok, most of the time I enjoy the odd olive or two, but I was eating them by the handful! Have also been craving cabbage, broccoli, celery, snow peas - essentially any green veggies I can get my hands on.

[Harriet]

I haven't had any cravings

It actually seems to be a conversation killer... everyone expects me to have at least something

I do love hearing about everyone else's cravings though - and maybe someday I'll develop my own!!!

[Cranky Kitten]

Don't worry Harriet - I didn't really have them with DD either. This time is a bit different already, which has been a bit of a surprise for me - but there's nothing wrong with not having any

[danniellabella]

I ate whole lemons when I was pregnant with DD.

Same here ive never really had any cravings as such I'll sit here going oh i feel like hot chips right now but ill have them then that will be it, it doesnt continue through out the pregnancy

[Tinsel]

With DD1 I couldn't get enough special sauce in the Big Mac. Although one day they did overdo the sauce and I felt a bit icky and after always preferring a Big Mac when we went to McDonalds, I don't really like them that much anymore.

My DH would like to thank you, as I've just yelled down the hall at him to go get me a frozen coke stat!

[MummaBee]

[Jennie13]
