Pregnant cravings

[sugar n spice]

I am no longer pregnant (i had DS#2 2/1/05) Anyway was wondering what others craved: Mine were salads, Steak, Choc milk, spearmint milk, pickled onions. With my first son it was KFC chips and pineapple fritters.

Rachel :p

I craved when i was pg, jube lollies, potatoes (couldnt get enough of them), milk products (mainly for heartburn though), eucalyptus lollies (i dont know why). I didnt really have that much that i craved for. I really couldnt eat that much because every thing gave me heartburn!

I havent had any cravings as such during my pregnancy, but I dont think you can beat a triple cheeseburger meal from maccas and washing it down with an ice cold coke!

This time I'm craving fruit, can't get enough of it - apples, strawberries, oranges, bananas, apricots. Also yogurt, esp apricot! All I want to eat is fruit and yogurt, oh and vanilla icecream. :)

With DS1 it was oranges (or any fruit), hot chips and splice iceblocks

With DS2 its was oranges again (I had an allergy to them when I was young, so I think I was making up for lost time!) and chocolate paddlepops twice a day

carls - maccas coke! love it :D

I used to drink 2 cans of coke a day, now I have completely gone off it, and only like maccas coke. Wierd.

Food, food and more food.

Ohhhhh - that would be why I put on 30kg's!

[carls]

mim - I hear you about fruit and yoghurt - I dont necessarily crave it like the world is going to end if I dont have it - but I do have it for dinner every night!

[Angel_baby_1982]

Eucalyptus lollies, choc milk, splice, steak and cottage cheese!

[LittleBoysRock]

MILK!! Which was weird considering I couldn't touch it before then. :)

Chocolate.... btw apparently hazelnut chocolate is good for baby boys, the zinc helps their boy bits grow and be healthy. Great excuse to eat it too :)

Broccoli....and any vegies really

Diet Pepsi.. only 1 can per day though

Basically anything easy to digest towards the end of pregnancy...nothing stodgy or starchy. :)

I just told my DH that he should eat some hazelnut chocolate :D

The first thing I craved was avocado on toast with a tiny bit of salt.
Then, soon after I started craving lots of anchovies on seafood pizza.
Last week I craved cadbury chocolate and nescafe coffee made with just milk.
At the moment I crave a nice well cooked steak followed by some organic rice milk.
who knows what craving is lurking around the corner.

With my first baby I craved cheese,cheese and more cheese. It's no wonder my little girl comes up to me and asks me for "Cheese please mummy"
My husband reckons I went through a block of cheese every couple of days.
And with such cravings come excess weight. I, like one of the other ladies also put on 30kg!!!

[hayleylea]

I craved chicken salad sandwhiches. Couldnt get enough of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Later on i craved orange juice. :D

[melfunction]

McChicken burger and Fanta. Usually at 2.30am. Wasn't me who went to get it either :D

I also drank 3 litres of milk a day sometimes more. Cheese on toast with onions YUM! Love onions!

Bloody Tim Tams! Still craving them now :D

[TwoBlue]

With DS it was banana flavoured anything.....
If it tasted like banana i wanted it !!

with this pregnancy its been anything sweet but mainly chocolate and especially mint slice biscuits mmmmmm........

[Harmony83]

I craved KFC chicken - yummm
gingerbread man
cheese and bacon savoury rolls
Vegemite :D

[dec05mum]

Bakers Delight cheesymite scrolls,and all winter all I wanted was a fresh mango!!
Since the weather got warm I've been living on fruit and salad with yummy dressings!
Also Hungry Jacks grilled chicken burger and chips..... :)

[lucyp]

I craved pistachio nuts from start to finish :p Also chocolate milkshakes towards the end - was having 2-3 a day :D

AND one of the stranger things I craved was ice cubes - I would eat at least 2 trays of baby icecubes a day - just loved to suck on them and crunch them also ....hmmm :p

[Shelly68]

I had to have hot chip sandwiches with tomato sauce every single day with both my p/gs. and with DD1 I also craved salt n vinegar potato chips, with DD2 I craved chicken chips.

I seem to remember a certain member on here who shall remain nameless craving Spring Rolls a lot when she was p/g, (come on fess up if you read this), lol

Lucyp I hear you with the ice cubes, I'm on 2-3 trays a day too. Got in the habit as I would get bloated and sick if I drank too much water.

Now I crave ham and cheese toasted croissants, crumpets with vegemite and cheese, huge bowls of fruit salad. I'm still going to put on 25kg too. The choc milkshake cravings are coming later....I can feel it....

Yum, getting hungry reading this thread.

Its great hearing what other mums craved. I didn't actually gain much weight in my pregnancies due to chronic m/s in my first pregnancy and #2 bad m/s but not as severe as the first. Oh i remembered another craving with b#1 maison, i just loved the bubbles.
:p

[~Kimmy~]

Choc milk & KFC chips

Rachel :p

Rachel, I haven't met anyone (aside from my brother who only likes white chocolate) who doesn't love chocolate! But I found my mornings just aren't right unless I have my swiss hot chocolate. :p

My first real craving was chicken noodles (the Maggi 2 minute kind) on Tuesday. Someone at work had them for lunch and the whole tea room smelt like noodles. I had to go to the shop and by some! Just thinking about it now I feel like noodles again.
