Hi girls, I'm sure there's been heaps of threads on this but I'm asking again just for fun :p What are your cravings?
In the 1st week I wanted pasta
Then nectarines and oranges
I've also craved numerous things for an hour of so but don't really count them.
The other thing which I have felt like pretty often is coffee and I would probably only have 1-2 coffee's per year! I have not had any coffee though and wont either ;)
wine! lol
:lol: I was out last night and smelt red wine <insert drooling icon here> I had not missed alcohol until then!
did you have a sip?
As i did from my DH glass couldnt help it .... but thats all i needed a wee tiny taste!
I didn't really have any cravings, more aversions early on. For a whole week i couldn't eat anything liquidy or mushy like stew or soup, made me wanna hurl, i needed stuff i could sink my teeth into, like steak.
But then the next week the smell of cooking meat made me sick and i lived on cup-o-noodles, not the most nutritionous ill grant you but the only thing i could stomache.
The only things i have really craved have been super cold icy drinks like slurpees (again, not real healthy) but that could just be cos its summer. And milk, great big icy cold glasses of milk.
Oh and i had a sip of champas at my BIL wedding, sucked though cos then i just wanted to drink the whole glass LOL :)
Oh Jellymaker I did go through a bit of a milk phase for 2 weeks but I didn't think of it as a craving, more what I felt like I also wanted icy poles for a couple of weeks too :p... I did not have any wine bubno ;)
Salt, salt & more salt!!!!!!!!!! Every meal DP asks me if I like it, and I say - yep, but it needs more flavour. We're so poor at the moment, I can't go an indulge like I really want to (salt & vinegar chips *DROOL*, twisties *DROOL*) LOL
And green cordial. But I love that anyway!
I've had many aversions over the last few weeks but one thing I can't get enough of lately (and it seems to settle my nausea) is chocolate coated raspberry licorice bullets. I can't get enough of them!
ok i have had a few...
hot chips with balsamic on top
BBQ shapes
hamburgers with pineapple
weetbix and lashings of milk
like Infinity...SALT! mmm anything with salt on it i am loving.
smoked salmon. have been wanting it so bad...and had to cave today...of course in true bad fashion with two other pg women...we were soo norti...and it tasted gooooooddd!
oh and for weeks there it was all about sour cream...in fact that was my first clue that i was UTD as i cried at a pub when i couldnt have nachos cause they ran out of sour cream lol.
Im only at my 4 week mark and I have one craving.
The first thing i think about when i wake up and the last thing i think about before i go to bed. MAMA shrimp falvoured Tom Yum instant noodles. Sour and salty.
I had 2 packts today. :wall:
ooohhh now i NEED to have some too LOL!:
I don't think I've had any cravings except for one that just started about a week ago: CHICKEN! Especially a chicken burger with a crumbed chicken patty, lots of mayo and grated cheese, exactly the type that's not available anywhere where I live :cry:. Only problem, I'm vegetarian and have been for over 10 years.. I caved in at lunch today though, I just couldn't resist ordering a chicken & leek pie with mash potatoes & salad. It was heaven. I think being veg will have to be put on hold for a while!
Hi Bec YAY another pregnant Vego! :dance: There is a great vego chatter thread on BB, here is the link. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ter-2-a-3.html Hope to see you in there ;)
Sounds like some fun cravings in here! I'm now at the stage where I don't know what I feel like :( Which is even more frustrating because I am HUNGRY :wall:
Picnics and creamy fudge.
And, i'm not even pregnant! :lol:
I m craving salt too, at the moment the only things I can eat are vegemite toast, salt and vinegar chips and apples- that is just about all I have lived on for the last 3 days.
The thought of eating anything sweet mkes me want to spew, which is a good thing for now.
same, sweet stuff makes me wanna puukkeeee!!!
Milk, ice cold plain milk :D
Also gone off my morning bowl of porridge ;)
i seem to crave wat i know i can get at the time. today it has been cheese burgers.
anything sweet at the mo makes me feel sick.
i haev been eating heaps of pizza shapes and chips from kfc.
With DD it was popcorn and the wicked twisties
sassy123, we seem to have the same cravings and I realise we are at the same mark almost.
I cant get enough of fried rice!! Normally I hate the stuff!!
mmmm sounds good for breakfast!!!!
Eng I had that last night and it was pretty good! I think I could totally get stuck into that now lol I am still finding it hard to know what I feel like eating and it's so annoying! I've also started getting heart burn a bit so that leaves heaps of stuff off the menu that I would normally love like curry!
To the girls who are hating sweet stuff... I find it's great for getting my sugar up to stop feeling sick quickly and stop myself from dry reaching! I'm not actually craving it though.
cherished1 I have that problem too, most of the time I don't know what I feel like eating! Two nights in a row I've spent so long deciding from the menu that the waiters have just gone away after I told them I'm still deciding, and then just not come back! So annoying. I do have cravings though just on and off. And the sweet stuff.. I don't feel like chocolate at all, I've had a small block of chocolate for about a month, and haven't even been tempted.. unheard of for me!
i have been craving sour cream, sour cream and more sour cream LOL.
I ordered a kebab (yep another thing i can't get enough of) and this is what i had on it...
Beef kebab, bbq sauce, mayo, sour cream, cheese and tomato. MMMMM heaven!
Mostly savoury things, but that kebab sounds good now :P
I am into my 8th week and not really craving anything.
I generally live by eating what I feel like at the time anyway, before pregnancy came along. So often I'll think 'i want salad' or 'i want bacon and eggs' or whatever it is at the time and i'll go have it.
but not craving anything seriously
oh i have found out i am exepting my 3rd! how we found out in the first place was my craving for chinese has to be fried rice and beef chow mein! doc doesnt know how far along yet but the cravings keep coming had to buy orange juice but i hate orange juice, any other juice i want as well! and theirs vanilla and chocoalte ice cream and has to be in a small cone with a flat bottom! and i love my vegies atm with gravy haha. oh from all the mentions of milk i wouldnt mind some too!
Salt and Vinegar Chips!! Can't get enough!! Anything savory is what I am going for.
My friend invented a new word for people like me- moodatarian! As in, I only eat what I feel like :) I'm like that most of the time but at 8w preg its worse than normal.
Mainly craving potatoes. Including hot chips, which I ate a massive bag of for dinner last night! oops! Today I have a throat infection :( so I am needing chicken soup, although not really craving it cos I don't really feel like eating at all.
<drooooool> Don't get me started on S&V chips!!! I've been band from buying them :rofl::
me too me too - Salt and Vinegar chips, hot chips with salt and vinegar on them.... I feel like I'm making up for many lost years!!! Finding it hard to eat as healthy as I used to....
Steamed Veggies with Cheese sauce
Another vote here for cold glasses of milk - can't get enough of the stuff! And potatoes - eating a lot more packet and hot chips than I would normally do, but the really strong one in first tri was mashed potato and cheese, yum!
Re sweet things, it had the opposite effect for me with ms. I would vomit fairly soon after having it (perhaps because it peaked and then dropped my bs too radically for me?) Anyway it didn't agree with me, and I still haven't really got my sweet tooth back.
2 minute noodles :redface: I sent DH out to the shops yesterday to get some, and I felt SO much better just knowing they were on the way! Normally I hate the very concept of something so processed, but I just had to have them!
For a little while it was juice, now im all juiced out. Then for a few weeks strawberry milk and ive never liked strawberry milk. Then nachos, ate them everyday for maybe 2 weeks. Now its oranges and apples. But i have been craving a whopper burger.. mmmmmmm i have seen the ads for hungry jacks and my mouth waters so i think i might get one today.
im bad for tomato onion and mayo sandwiches.. ive had a few comments from work colleagues about the repetitive lunches..lol.. but they are so yummy!!
CHEESE!!!!! any kind of cheese ROFL i just NEED it LOL
Oh, cheese just reminded me. I for a quite while ate nothing but bacon, cheese, tomato and tomato sauce toasted sandwiches.. mmmmmmmmmmm
I had some interesting ones when i was preg wth DD. The first 9 weeks i ate scrambled eggs with tomato sauce, im talking EVERY day! lol
Other big cravings i had was lemon juice (had it on EVERYTHING ) and i seemed to eat tins and tins of beetroot too.
Raw tomato sandwhiches EWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Im almost gagging while I eat them but they are SO good at the same time :lol: and nuts- almond and cashews YUM
oranges i can't get enough, my hubby is buying bags of them for me.:lol:Yum Yum
I craved potatoes with cheese, butter and salt, steaks(but found it near impossible to find one I actually enjoyed), salada's with cheese, tomato and salt (lots of salt), lots of other salty things, fresh fruit and vege's by the bucket load. Not all at the same time, I went through phases
I went off pretty much everything sweet or anything with alot of sugar, ie chips.
I often wondered if my body was trying to tell me what I needed to eat?
