Not everyone gets cravings. I do occasionally, all of a sudden I really feel like an apple or a piece of chocolate. Its not an all day every day thing, just something that comes over me and never for anything wiered.
:D
I haven't had any... and people always ask me! lol.
I've always craved chocolate, so maybe i'll just start blaming the pregnancy on that one :p
i only had one real craving the whole pregnancy. there was food i wanted but couldn't get, and i got over it - but i was a mess at 3am one morning cos i'd dreamed of being at a bbq and having a burger, and woke up demanding DH drive to town to get me a cheeseburger!
scary thing is - i HATE macca's with a passion - would never have eaten it anyway. "town" is a 60k round trip and i refused to go with him (it was the middle of the night!) so it would have been cold. he offered every solution he could. we had rissoles so he offered to make me a home made cheese burger but i refused. in the end i was a bawling mess and told him to get me a cheese burger without the bun or the burger - in other words a piece of cheese. i ate that, half asleep - and went back to sleep never to crave anything so violently again!
my only other "i wish i could have" kinda craving was for Hedgehog Slice - but that's wasn't with the same violence and emotion by a long shot!
I never had real cravings but I always milked it anyway ;)
:rofl: BG, that is hilarious!
I haven't had Ribena for, I don't know, maybe 10 years? One day I was walking home and I just needed it, so turned around, hoofed it to the shops, and bought an economy sized bottle. I also found that sometimes I didn't so much feel a need for something, but certain foods have really comforted me, like the smell of vanilla has helped me through some bad m/s.
But I know lots of people who haven't really had them. One friend had one for iced water. So they can be quite mild sort of things.
I tend to think the cravings are a bit rarer that everyone thinks. In fact it's only people who haven't had children who ask me if I've had any cravings.
Yes there have been foods that I've wanted (like potato cakes and fish and chips and yes chocolate) but I don't think these are cravings, I think I am just more inclined to let myself eat these naughty foods that I normally deny myself cos I'm pregnant.
i mean, yeh of course theres been times when i've been like "I HAVE TO HAVE SMARTIES!!!" but i mean, i was pretty much like that before haha. esp with chocolate.
and yes, i blame cravings too when i really want something.. im more inclined to get it that way :P hehe sneaky sneaky i know ;)
i never really had them either - which always made think are they real or just in our heads or and excuse to eat stuff we normal shouldnt????
However in saying that i did like strawberry milk and usually i hate that stuff - drunk it while pregnant and now wont touch it!!!
I can't say I have any cravings so far - but I seem to really enjoy soup ATM. I like soup when its winter anyway but I really really enjoy soup in fact at work that is generally what I will have for lunch, at home I sulk coz I have to have the instatnt stuff coz I am too lazy to cook :lol:
I never got any cravings at all! :D
lol,, i havent had any cravings as of yet.
I do however get an urge for a certail food at 3 am in the morning, its only happened a few times...but the other night i woke up 3am, and needed yoghurt, i just couldnt fall back asleep without yoghurt...i ended up satisfying my needs with a glass of milk, which got me to sleep lol.
With all 4 pregnancies I didnt get any cravings until after the 22 week mark...
Baby no 1 it was baked beans
Baby no 2 - eggs, in any way, shape or form
Baby no 3 - first of all it was hot chips, then later on beef stoganoff
baby no 4 - peas.....have to cook them especially as no-one in my family likes them
Nothing weird or unusual, altough I cannot eat eggs now as they give me some digestive problems! V. weird, could eat them by the dozen when preg, now cant even touch them!
I didnt have any cravings at all for most of my pregnancy, but towards the last couple of months I chewed ice all day, I just could not get enough of it (lucky our fridge made it)
I drove my husband mad crunching away on it while watching tv, I would even go into maccas and just ask for a cup of ice, they looked at me weird. I had to have it all the time, so much so that when we went to a car show I hunted down the snow cone stand and just asked for plain snow cones, they thought I was weird too but I kept them in business all day, my tongue was so numb.
Oh I hope you DO get cravings! There is NOTHING more wonderful than being able to satisfy a craving...like a big white bread roll jammed with potato chips, vegemite and cheese. Or a bowl of icecream with milo and strawberry topping, or a roll with peanut butter, turkey, cheese and carrot.
I have on several occasions CRIED with joy whilst stuffing my face.
LOL, thats exactly the same as with me....DP hates peas and so I havent had peas in like a year or more. And I love them, I just cant be bothered to buy a big packet of peas and dirty a saucepan just to cook myself a serve.:
DP has warned me, if i ever serve him peas he will flick them at me with his fork lol.
It was weird cause when i met his nanna for the first time, she said the exact same thing about if anyone serves her peas, she will flick them back at em...lol...mind you shes in her 70's lol
:
Lol, that so cute :) :)
Oh :( I wish I got cravings... they sound fantastic.:
I might just make one up for giggles. I'll wake DF up at 3am and tell him that I MUST MUST have *insert something obscure here* immediately and he has to get me some NOW. lol. I'm sure he'll be impressed.
omg, i cant stop eating/craving lime jelly and custard lol.
I have always liked lemons and sour things but recently I have been cutting up lemons, limes and oranges and eating them like a crazy lady...funny I was off oranges for years and now I feel like I HAVE to have them. My lips end up all cracked but I dont care, Im in heaven..
Can't say that I've had cravings as such - though in the very begining I wanted jelly (as in jelly and icecream). Didn't want it at any strange times just after I had dinner. I put it down to it being summer and the sort of thing you would eat in summer :lol: Hubbie did say to me that he'd been told that it was common because of the gelatine in the jelly ???? Can't believe the number of people who've both had kids and not had kids that ask me about the cravings? That and do you know the sex?
Lulu - loved that you have cried with joy when you're eating what you wanted to :clap:
I've craved a few things but nothing too random.
- Chicken schnitzels are a big one for me. Actually, any type of crumbed chicken does the job. I had a kiev last night for dinner and I've had quite a few Macca's chicken fillet burgers since falling pregnant.
- bananas - fresh bananas, banana bread, banana cake, banana muffins, banana lollies - this list goes on! My favourite banana treat is a Banana Buzz from Boost Juice. When I get the urge for a Buzz I just have to have one NOW!
- toasted cheese sandwiches
- I went through a custard stage for about a month but that seems to have passed
Hmmm, all this talk of food has now got me wanting really fresh, doughy, white bread covered in butter. I'm going to have to grab some at lunch time now!!
i have had craving too but not on a daily basis.... :p
I haven't had those really strong cravings that wake me at 3am - LOL BG - but I often feel like an Indian or Malaysian curry!!!! Odd
