And it's not the summer fruit that I've been craving so far. Nope, nothing so healthy, now I am fiercely craving Best Foods mayonnaise. And with 80% fat it's not helpful in my attempt not to put on too much weight with this pregnancy.
But I can't help it. I dream about it. I obssess over it. I have it on my sandwiches and on salad, and even on my potatos tonight at dinner 
I had a few cravings with Maya and the gremlins, but never this intense! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Yup. When I was preg with the gremlins I read a Weekend Herald investigation into the safety of foods we store in our fridges and the experts they spoke to agreed that out of an entire fridge of food the mayonnaise was the safest as it has so many preservatives etc. in it. Fresh mayo is different tho, not safe as it has raw egg in it. Same as fresh hollandaise sauce. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Overall I'm doing pretty well, I'm eating heaps of fresh fruit coz I find it helps the nausea/dehydration, plus big salads with dinner and keeping my carb intake under control but this damn mayonnaise is making me crazy! So much so that I only had one sausage instead of the usual two for dinner to try and balance out the fat a bit ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I have a HUGE craving for meat, any meat esp salami and cold cuts and no, I'm not supposed to eat those! And DH says I have no willpower either
Can't really offer any words of wisdom Emma, hope the cravings pass ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Teeheeheeheeheeheehee! My body does NOT need any more fat, trust me! It's cursing me for getting pregnant before I'd lost the weight I put on with the gremlins which means I can afford to put on a max of 5kg with this pregnancy ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I don't like mayonnaise
The only craving I've had is for brussels sprouts and asparagus. So I can understand the obsession

I craved pineapple and was eating tons of it so much so I had sores in my mouth, didn't find out until after I had Spencer that it can cause you to go into labour....oooops
I woke up one night obsessed with wanting fruit cake, which i'm normally not bothered about, I didn't have any in the house so ate a whole xmas pudding to myself instead, it was 3am but I seriously could not go to sleep cos I wanted it so much. -------------

Wow I wish I craved something healthy like brussel sprouts or asparagus!!!!! My big thing at the moment is Quarter Pounders I've never been a McD's fan but for some reason just though I felt like one about 4 weeks ago and it was the best thing I'd tasted in weeks for some reason, they made it fresh so it was hot and sooooooooooo good, really wish it was one of the typical crap burgers but it good and so I let myself have one a week for a treat and I look forward to it for days!
Butter seems to be calling to me in the last few days, got crusty white rolls in the shopping and smothered the poor thing in spreadable (lighter version so its a little bit less norty right???) to have with my soup, man it was good. -------------

Calcium? That was a biggie for me in 2x pregnancies - yoghurt, icecream, mayo, anything chicken-pasta-sauce-ish. ------------- |

I didn't have any cravings with Elle but I did have some aversions. I couldn't even look at a packet of dried fruit without feeling sick.

I love salty food - ready salted chips, salt and vinegar chips, salty crackers .... Indian is also a favourite.
I crave bananas during the night but the sight or smell of them during the day makes me vomit. And yes, McD's McChicken! Even on my worst days, it's good! Used to love pasta, pre-parasite, now can't stand it. Makes meal planning difficult cos 5 nights out of 7, it was pasta! ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Teehee Jess, we're pregnant, what's Cory's excuse?
LOL Cuppatea, when we were in Oz I was craving fruit cake, managed to get one half price in a post Xmas sale and that fixed the craving. Had mayo for breakfast yesterday - with salad and stuff, but still, for breakfast
First - cravings can start any time. I've found overall I have more aversions than cravings, I go off entire food groups. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
