Cravings

[mini_me]

I know this is bit to soon for most of us

But i thought to start with those of us who’ve been pregnant before could share their old craving stories for bit of a laugh

Mine used to be completely dominated by smells, mainly being washing powders loved doing laundry LOL and I think it will be this time too as I just washed my hands with the same kind of hand washed I used with scarlet and im feeling “pregnant” again if that makes sense

Another woman I shared hospital room with loved the smell of detol :laughing: and kept in huge bottle in her cupboard next to her bed!

[jaasssy82]

I didnt get craving till later on last time( when i wasnt feeling like:barf: ) But this time round if i think of something i want to eat the I MUST HAVE IT.. lol put this was i had saltana bran with milo for dinner last night :)
( i had a nassty headache so incase i chucked i thought that will easily come up rather then big chunkc of meat etc gross i know)

There is one thing i disovered in my first pregnancy that tastes the same coming back up as it did going down and that is CHICKEN CRIMPY bicuits.. no lie it tastes exactly the same.. it was almost tempting to wrtie as book called to eat and what not to eat when your :barf: lol.. also Australias hosipital reviews
between traveling and moving house i got to see 6 different hospitals lol :)

[mini_me]

PMSL sounds like something i would have brought :laughing:

[Lozie]

with the boys it was tomatoe juice in the first trimester and this time it's orange juice not very exciting i know but thats me:D, oh and pickles and ice cream with ds1 that was yummo and mayo and muffins with ds2 ,

[twistwantsabub]

Oh my gosh MINI-ME..... the girls name that my DP and i are thinking about it Scarlet Mae.... We love the name Scarlet, and Mae is after my sister. How cool is it, that that is your daughters name, (with MAY) love it.


ok, cravings...
I am a little over 6 weeks preg with my first bubby so this is all totally new. I can't get enough pasta (especially fresh stuff), crave garlic bread every day, and when i'm feeling my worst (around lunch time), G-Bread is all that i can stomach. Also loving anything with potato, hot chips, wedges, mashed potato etc.

Oh, and am absolutely loving sweet chilli sauce on anything i can put it on.

[mini_me]

:laughing: thats uncanny twist great name :thumbsup: ... Scarletts name came about cos i loved the name Charlotte but have you noticed how theres far to many about these days. SO i thought about Scarlet but would only go with it if she had red hair ... and wouldnt you know it .. born with flaming red hair (just like mine) and double TT to go with the TT at the end of her surname. Everyone says it suits her but grr cos we have the same Sk/Sc ppl always getting confused Skye Scarlett :confused:

[goose]

Well for the last 3 days i have had a tomato,cheese, and vegemite sandwich and it has been sooooooooo good... Never had it before now...

And chocolate yogo... yummo

[MrsX]

Oh yum, tomato cheese & veg sandwhich rules. I'm also partial to lettuce & vegemite :p

One thing I have to have everytime we're out is soup. Loving BBQ Pork Wonton noodle soup :D:D

Cant stomach McDonalds chips :barf:

[AliyahBlake]

I didn't really get cravings til the second half of my pregnancy with Aliyah.....I can remember loving cucumber, cheese and mayo sandwiches, cashew nuts (snacked on them all the time......we called Aliyah "Cashew" when she was in the womb!) and couldn't get enough chocolate in the last 4 weeks. I also drank a hell of alot more milk than usual, and went right off coffee (even though I usually love it...the smell made me feel so ill).
This time, I've started getting a couple of little cravings, cashews (again) and sour cream and chives chips from Aldi. I've started to go off coffee too in the last couple of days, but I'm still ok with tea so I have a cup of that in the mornings now.

[goose]

Cant stomach McDonalds chips :barf:

So im not the only one... The oil tastes awful doesnt it... Like i can taste seeds and dirt... totally :barf:

But kfc ones im fine with and love.. :confused:

They must use different oil..

[MrsX]

I managed to eat some red rooster ones yesterday :yes: Maybe they changed their oil or something....or we're just weird :laughing:

[goose]

Yeh your probably right.... We are just weird... :laughing: :p

[MrsX]

[Kizmet]

[Moops]

I am absolutely dying for KFC chips and gravy. The problem is that the chips and gravy here in London are absolutely rubbish and dont taste anything like they do at home - how is that for torture!!!!:banghead:

[Vespera]

I think I just had my first weird pregnancy craving.

We got some chips with dinner and when we got home I got the sauce out of the cupboard and saw the peanut butter and damn I wanted to put some on my chips!

Its all I can think about.....

[Tinydancer]

I had a craving for peanut butter on fresh bread with fried eggs on top...... back in the beginning. Now the thought of it makes me want to spew!!

Tasted great at the time though.....

Its ok mrs X.. I love bbq chicken.. I just get one at 10:30am when red rooster opens or 9am at the shops and eat it straight away.. cos then i know its just been cooked and not sitting in the warmer for hours... Yummo...

[mumof2angels]

I remember craving coco pops with the girls ate a 600g box in 3days! I dont know if im craving anything yet. I feel hungover everyday so i eat bad food, bacon eggs chicken schnitzels, kfc, etc.
I cant wait til it passes. Im off tea/coffee, love porridge actually, tomato sandwiches with cracked pepper and mayo.
Id have to say more than anything im just starving all the time even after i eat dinner or a huge lunch.

[goose]

I remember craving coco pops

I have had these for breaky everyday since thurs... :o

Saw them while doing shopping and HAD to have them.. Weird since i dont usually eat cereal for breaky..
But instead of having my toast for breaky i have been having it for morning tea with some avo or fresh tomato and salt and pepper...

[Moops]

Im not really having any 'weird' cravings but when i do want something i want it then and there and no one had better bring me a dodgy substitute either!!! (Did i mention im a little moody too?!)

I never used to like plain orange juice before but now im drinking it by the carton i cant get enough of it!!

[goose]

mmmmmmmmm Food... :laughing:

At the moment for me olives are sooooooooo good.. Green ones with the capsicum inside.. Im eating them by the jar full, i have always loved them but not this much..

Pickled onions are pretty good to...


Frozen lasagna i want it all the time.. (cooked though ;) just not homemade.. frozen brought ones taste so much better..)

Guess what we are having for dinner tonight...
Lasagna with garlic bread and some salad with lettuce.tomato,cucumber, and olives... :smiliedance:


Pizza is :barf:

Like i think i want it but as soon as i smell the cheese melting its turns me off and i cant even think about eating it... (melted cheese on other stuff is fine though... weird)


Kristy

[Kizmet]

i cant eat overly greasy food now as it make me :barf: so im completely different to last pregnancy! I craved KFC all the time and hot chips with gravy but now just the thought of them makes me want to :barf:

Last night i craved a fruit salad so went and bought all this beautiful fruit from woolies and made it and oh dear god it was the nicest fruit salad ive ever had! it was beautiful! why does giving into cravings feel so good :laughing:

Anyone elses cravings changed?

[krisash]

[Moops]

For about a week the only thing that would make me feel better was 2 minute chicken noodles for lunch. It wouldnt make me :barf: and would actually settle my stomach a bit. That was until last week when i spent all day :barf: after it, even typing this is making me gag!! So me and noodles are no longer friends!!

[goose]

So me and noodles are no longer friends!!

:hugs:

Porrige and i are no longer friends after an incident the other day... :barf:

Ice ( had this with the girls too) yep the crunching pleasure has started:thumbsdown: I dont have enough ice trays.

And lucky last the most disgusting ( not from my point of view at the moment :p ) is the smell of fresh wet dirt straight from the garden, petrol, Bunnings love the wood smells and love the smell when you start the car with the revesre cycle air on and it blows the stale air out the vents!! EEeeWWWWWW!!! No not really!!:D

[Kizmet]

i went through a wedges with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce phase too a few weeks ago!!! mmmmm

[Vespera]

oh you girls are strange! I'm still on my fruit fetish although I have swapped from apples to pears.

My mum was telling me on the weekend that when she was pregnant with me all she wanted was icecream with curry powder on top. Ewwww :barf:And yes she ate it regularly.

[cromeo]

I think I'll pass on the sour cream recipes...

My cravings was for meat pies. And it came on so suddenly. I was studying during the early stages of my pregnancy. Once during an exam, all I could think about was having a meat pie with tomato sauce. I had to suppress all the meat pie urges and try to answer the exam questions without writing meat pie meat pie meat pie everywhere. Needless to say, I ended up rushing through the whole thing, driving to coles on my way home and picking up a pack of frozen meat pies. Luckily enough, I managed to scrape by with a pass. :rolleyes:

Oh, another craving was for guacamole... By itself :yes:

[Roxy76]

at the moment i am LOVIN fruit!! strawberries and kiwi's in particular! oh and frozen berries!!!

[mini_me]

Ive just started craving dog biskets :laughing: havent eaten any - we dont have any animals LOL but im smelling dog food everywhere

[goose]

Ive just started craving dog biskets :laughing: havent eaten any - we dont have any animals LOL but im smelling dog food everywhere

:eek: :barf:

I hope you resist the temptation..

[Roxy76]

i feel bit blah (haven't actually :barf:but close to it) last couple of days and only really feel like toast with things like jam, peanut butter etc, fruit and some veges

not feeling like anything heavy or stodgy! yesterday had pasta and potato and bread mostly and had stomach cramps and tight and was so sore!!

plus finding can't fit in as much food at one time anymore, so gone to grazing all day instead!

bubs is definitely growing though! can feel it!

[Shana]

Mmmm, interesting mini_me. We have some dog buscuits here . . . I'll check them out for you . . can't say they've caught my attention as a possible snack yet though.

I pigged out on Maltesers yesterday then felt sick afterward :rolleyes: . Liking frozen coke's atm.

I'm similar Roxy - not feeling too vomit worthy, but my eye's are bigger than my stomach and I'm a bit hungry all day. My belly is aching too so maybe another growth spurt is about to happen?
