Hi there.
Was having a chat with my fiance last night, and he mentioned it was unusual that I havent had cravings yet.
Im 12 weeks. And was wondering when during the pregnancy the cravings kick in?
I had a bit of a craving for lemons one night and I ate a whole lemon.
But that was just a one off thing, and it was at about 8 weeks.
When do the craving kick in? and can they hint as to whether its a boy or girl?:clap:
its not unusual. I never had them, or any other pg symptom than itchy bbs, no period and a growing tummy, with my first baby. No morning sickness etc, which feaked me out and had me worried.
This time around everything is different and Im pining for my hassle free pg from last time lol
There are lots of old wives tales about cravings hinting at boys and girls, generally sweeter things indicate girls and sour things boys.
i never had any cravings, but then again, if i wanted a food i just ate it. sooo maybe i did?? haha, its just i satisfied them before they became an issue??
don't stress if you dont get them, lots of women dont
I haven't had any cravings :)
ive been pregnant twice (miscarried the second at bout 9 weeks) and at the start of both preg all i wanted was soda water i would drink at leat 2 1.25lites bottles a day!! with my son Zayvier i wanted lots but mostly spicey food apple juice pineapple juice onion n then towards end CHOCOLATE!!! i hated chocolate before i was preg n know i love it!!! hmmm thats prob where i put on all the weight!!!! hahahaha its hard to explain cravings to someone who has never been pregnant!!
Yeah I have had no morning sickness either, not even the feeling of vomiting!!
I was speaking to my mum and she said she never had it either, so maybe Im just taking after my mum.
My friends said i should consider myself lucky. lol
If I havent had morning sickness now, and im 12 weeks? Is there any chance i might get it later on in the pregnancy?
it can vary - had cravingswith my boy and not with this one.. funny how you fiance thought it was unusal though- did he get cravings when he was UTD LOL!!!
you might feel sick in third tri- i did both times
yes i got sick in the last trimester again and i also became sort of lactose intolrent which suck because all i wanted was strawberry milk!!
I never really felt like I had cravings -- at least, nothing stronger than normal. I always said I had cravings to my partner, though ;)
Gotta milk the advantages of being pregnant!!
:
lol, na he lived with his sister when they were pregnant with their 3 kids but, he just thought it was unusual that I hadnt wanted to eat unusual things, and the weirdest of times...lol
My sister in law said she craved pickled and ice cream during the night lol
crack up- all the best with the rest of your pregnancy!!
The only cravings I had was at about 18 weeks for 2 weeks ate a block of chocolate a day.
And then at 27-34 weeks I ate toasted ham cheese and tomato sandwiches literally for breakfast lunch and dinner while I was at work 16 hours a day lol
Aside form that though, nothing....no anchovy and peanut butter sandwiches here!
lime- you did not work for 16hrs at 27-34 weeks?? omg tht is a miracle in itself- goodness- i can barely move!!
LSK - pmsl - yeah. Worked right through to 36 weeks. Chef, so dont really get much a choice on hours breaks etc ...from 9 am to midnight everyday, saturdays and fridays was later.
My Chef was pretty good though, often got off early or a hour late start or something. But I lived and hour and half from work, so driving in to perth in peak hour traffic - yuck!
I was buggered but I actually loved it. Still being useful and kept me active.
omg- wow gonna give you rep points for that!!
:) Thanks LSK lol
oh my god.
i feel terrible now.
I had to throw my job in at 11 weeks, i had a bad back and the ***** of a boss at woolies was making me do all the heaviest of lifting, i got to a point where i was feeling so sick and scared to go into work, cause everyone there was just being so tough on me.
I ended up asking for light duties and had a certificate from my doc, but she continued to give me continuos bending jobs, and my back and neck were stuffed.
I just quit, i had enough of woolies anyway.
i had a huge craving for lemon during pregnancy. i had it on everything... like EVERYTHING.
Yeah thats what i have been liking lately.
I think its not a craving, more just an increase feeling for a our taste.
I sat there one night and ate a whole lemon, i just cut it up and ate it like an orange...
weird..:wall:
I haven't had cravings for weird things and I haven't had on going cravings but I've had a couple of times where I've just had to have something, eg when through two weeks at about 15w where I would go through chocolate milk like crazy and then at about 22w I craved cadbury creme eggs for about 2 wks. Cravings are a funny thing, but are as individual as each and every pregnancy is.
I LOVE choc milk! I have them a few times a week. I find in the morning I crave milk, but I have lots of milk when it comes to breakfast and my breakfast is always some like Special K or Muesli or Corn flakes. Always like to have those as they are Low GI and also have that bit of extra Iron and folate in them.
I never had cravings until now. Unfortunately cravings don't go with hyperemesis - so I missed them on the first 5 because all food was making me feel sick.
I haven't wanted anything weird - and nothing so powerful I was sending my sleepy DH out to the servo at 3am. But there have been times I have wanted a strawberry fruche or caramel cookie crunch ice cream from baskin robbins. Sadly, I never got the ice cream and on occassion I do still want it, haha.
Although the past week I have wanted to send my DH to the cheesecake shop. (Thats because we are now nowhere near a cake it away who have the profiterole party pack - YUMMY!) I only have to wait until monday for Harry's birthday to have a real excuse. Not long now....... but :cry:
lol in regards to working while your pregnant i worked at a fish n chip shop while i was pregnant and had around 3 weeks off the whole preg partly because i went in2 prem labour at 32 weeks n mum wouldnt let me move but i got sick of that so i went back and then me mum went on a honeymoon and told me not to work for that so i didnt have me son while she was gone and then i was working when i was in labour wrapping fish n chips thru contractions!! because i had so many false starts i wasnt goin to stop doin "NORMAL" things other wise it woulda stopped!!! and yes i would eat a block of chocolate a day too!!
I've been craving salt and vinegar chips, just can't get enough. Besides that I eat and eat and eats (seems to help the sickness, but as soon as I stop eating I feel sick again) so I think you could call that somewhat of a craving :p
I had a craving of lemon softdrink (like solo), that started before 12wks... But then all my other cravings, short lived as they were, were all thanks to the power of suggestion. I had a craving for tinned spaghetti and that only lasted a few days. I had a craving for liquorice coz I watched MASH where Klinger was trying to eat a Jeep. He ate a windscreen wiper and hey presto! I wanted liquorice.
