Hi, I've been having some weird eating habits lately and just wondering what everyone else has been craving while they're pregnant?

This mornings was ice cream with pizza shapes normally I'd say yuck but not today!:dance:

Ive never had weird food cravings....i must have boring tastes!!

I didn't with my last 2 pregnancies but this time, wow we're making up for the last 2!:cryinglaugh:
Snoopea

Maybe ill develop some over the next few weeks. I do however like to eat lettuce....like a WHOLE lettuce at a time....had that with DD1 as well!

Interesting.........ice cream and pizza shapes!

Nothing out of the ordinary here but i cant get enought of ice even though its soo cold. I could just eat ice all day long except its a bit hard at work to talk to people and crunch at the same time :)

Im not really craving anyhting in particular except boost juices,fruit and the main one is potato,fried chips,roast spuds,mash as long as its potato,mmm might have to go to kfc for some fresh chips with extra chicken salt.yum

Fresh Pineapple and it's gotta be fresh nothing from the can - funny given that we are in the middle of winter and I'm not living in Tropical North Queensland.

Cheese and Bacon Zinger Burgers from KFC :rolleyes: but I try not to give in to this one otherwise by the end of this my butt is going to look like a Zinger burger :redface:

DiannaQ, I'm sure my butt is already like a zinger burger after 3 kids I expect it will never be the same again! lol I'm also loving fresh pineapple and strawberries!:cryinglaugh:

Soniebon, Yummy I might have to get KFC for lunch now I was eyeing off there fillet meal saturday afternoon but we we're heading out for tea!:dance:

MrsB26, wow ice, I don't think I could hack that one I hate cold water and can't drink it out of the tap at the moment have to wait for it to heat up!:)

Kimbaz, do you put dressing on the lettuce or eat it plain??:)

Any junk food, Maccas, Hungry Jacks, Red Rooster - you name it. I do limit myself so I don't end up looking like the side of a house though! ;)
Chocolate (mmmm this didn't end when I had Izzy though so it might not be pg related! )
Icecream - Any Connoisseur (sp?) brand - especially chocolate overload! Mmmmmm
Coffee - ok so very bad but I just want it ALL the time. I have compromised by having one decent one a day, and then a decaf or milo instead.

Depends on the day lol. Sometimes it is fruit and lots of it, other days KFC potato and gravy, still others Macca cheeseburger. Atm it is cookies and cream icecream but I do try to drink lots of water to counteract all the fat and sugar and salt lol.

McDonalds Cookies! I started craving them when I was about 6-8 weeks pregnant and I would eat a box a day sometimes more. My DH is great he goes through drive through and picks up 6 boxes at a time. They are used to him asking now.
Other than that I am usually happy with a vegimite sandwich for lunch and normally I wasn't a huge vegimite fan. But DH loves vegimite so I always say to him that you can't say this baby isn't yours!

Other than that I eat as per normal, If anything my appitite has decreased!

This pg its been indian curry, steamed veg and potato cakes - with DD1 it was ice, slurpies, cinnamon donuts and anything with cheese or potatoes!

potatos... yumm mashed,baked,hot chips with chicken salt, i love chips , even packets lol, have a thing for salt n vinigar atm..

mandarins have been a fave too

lol at west chick i had to double take and see if that was my post,im craving potato bad!!mash,roasted,kfc chips that are fresh with chicken salt,oven fries with chicken salt juts potato in general,though havent started on the crisps,i had to resisit the strong urge before to go thru kfc drive thru,came home and made a vegemite sandwich,not the same though!!

oh west chick and the mandarins big time,they are my all day munchie thing,though i alternate one mandarin,one banana and dont mind the odd piece of watermelon

:excited::excited::excited::excited::excited::exci ted:

Cheezels

never have craved them before - gone off choc - temporarily anyway ;)

Been loving lolly snakes (the all natural brand) mandarins and pink lady apples, the watermelon and rock melon have been nice as well.. Hot chips & gravy and KFC zinger have both been a fav as well but trying to not have more than once every 10 days or so...I went through a chocolate pudding phase as well, but that seems to have declined been really getting back into yogourts of late.

Oh and my favorite breakfast: toast with Kraft cheese spreads...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Bummer, I'm hungry now!!

KFC chips are always on the list :P

Chocolate and I normally hate sweet food
Fruit, mostly mandarins but banana and strawberry are close seconds.
those asian noodles the megorene(sp) ones but only the chicken flavour
French Toast
and like most others here I see, POTATOES!!!

oh man, this thread is giving me cravings, mmm....KFC.

Twisties
2 minute noodles from Aldi
McChicken burgers
Hot chips with vinegar

I'm so hungry now.
And I discovered the worst thing about being pregnant, making a chocolate cake and not being able to taste the mixture coz it has egg :(

Cheeseburgers
Meat Pies
Spinach and Ricotta roll from Jesters
Chinese
Melted chocolate with fruit and marshmallows to dip!!

On the healthy front:
Fruit: pineapple particularly
Fresh juices
Toasted sandwiches with cheese and tomato.
All Bran!!! (weird), usually with some hot water and milk, and weet bix!
Banana and oat smoothies (anything with oats)

right now.... black bean stir-fry or a stew of some sort..

yes i know.. weird very weird at 9pm lol

i've been craveing UHT milk. and stake but it HAS to be med-rare.
Ohh and i've re-discoverd apple juice. and M'n'Ms and fanta seem to be all the go with all my early morings over the past week.

I shouldnt have opened this discussion....now I am starving for all those yummy foods!!!!

Maple syrup!
If I can't have it on pancakes I have it in (soy) milk
MmMMm

i've been craving green mangoes, so i went and bought some to last me the week. Sour but delicious

I am really hungry after reading all of that girls!!

For me its definitely the carbs, not specifically potato, (although they're great), but bread, pasta, rice thins, crackers and cheese etc. I also like apples, banana on weetbix for breakfast, yoghurt and the other day I really wanted a chocolate milkshake so I made one at home!

I wish I craved veggies more than I do!! Maybe all the preg vitamins I take means they're not high on the list for my body?

Yeah me too! This thread is making me drrroooll :lol:

Lately i've craved -

* Big Mac's....(eating 1 a week but i could have 1 a day!!)

* Strawberries!!

* Potato Chips ..... (but that's normal for me)

* Orange Juice ......(although made me vomit the other day so im now off it!!)

* Chips with lots of salt.. mmm like KFC one's.

That's about it.... I haven't really had many cravings.... and each day is different for what i feel like!! But they are the main ones!

Kaz, I'm the same - carbs! Pasta, rice, potatoes, bread

Toasted cheese sandwiches, apples, Natural company snakes, carrots, avocado and ice-cream!

I have been craving popcorn (the movie type) the home made didnt cut it. I am desperate to go to the movies jsut so i can eat the popcorn!

Other cravings have been potatoe: mashed, hot chips (im going to have to go to KFC), potatoe chips. mmmmm I love potatoe!

Vegemite has been a big one since the beginning too. I will even eat vegemite out of the jar.

I seem to have a theme of salty foods. I wonder if that means anything???

Oh and one last thing - iceblocks like frosty fruits or icy poles. Even when it is freezing cold!

When preg with DD I was eating peanut butter and sardine sandwiches!!!!!!!!!!!

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate today. But normally grapes and strawberries and raspberries.
Ooooh, and cheese and tomato sandwiches. Can't get enough of them!!

Lately it has been hot lemon water and black cats and black jellybeans... and still loads of 2 min noodles!!!

NOODLES i got a thing about them right now not like chinese ones just that packet ones you sprinkle on the flavour and cook in a pan mm thats all ive eaten for the past few days. It has replaced my chicken sandwich obsession!

when i was pg, i craved lemon softdrink. And had to have pickles on everything. :)

My brain also seemed to work on the power of suggestion. I watched mash one afternoon and someone was disassembling a jeep. They took off a windscreen wiper blade and that was it. I needed liquorice!

I seem to have a different craving every day- this morning it was raison toast- I had 4 pieces!! OMG what a pig!

Earlier in the pregnancy I craved orange juice and yoghurt. Still loving the yoghurt.....

I have been having waaaaay more vegemite - does this mean its a little Aussie kid!? Hubby is Dutch...and he hates it lol
