Hi ladies,
Does anyone have cravings? I am finding that as the weeks go by I am starting to get more and more cravings and am starving by the time I get home and feel like pigging out! |

No not really.....so long as get carbs and McDonalds at 6.30am I'm fine!   
Hehehehe seriously though, nothing off the wall but on the weekend B seriously had to toddle off to McD's to get me hash browns and bacon and a egg mcmuffin, that was at 6.30am on Saturday and more respectably at 9.30am on Sunday. Mainly though I still want anything carby...I'm also have been rather insistant about fruit and veges (makes up for McD's!) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| It's weird as I have cravings for certain things like ghurkins and I love cheese on those big rice wafer crackers. Another thing I have been craving is red meat i.e. steak. My husband thinks that is just wonderful as he is a big red meat fan. |

ewww!!! meat, bread etc.... things i have gone off of this pregnancy. i have definatly had a sweet craving (lollies and choccie etc..) but the odd random craving earlier on, usually hot chips, or a mcchicken....
i am going through the hungry all the time stage at the mo, but still so many foods arent at all appealing! argh! |

I so know what you mean...straight meat is really unappealing an quite frankly makes me want to chuck!
I've been ok with getting something pre-cooked like my specially prepared lamb on rice from our local turkish or butter chicken, anything like that...but if i have to cook it....forget it! I'm also hungry lots but so much doesn't appeal...it's so frustrating! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| The one thing that I have been put off eating is pasta which I used to make frequently and sometimes would add tuna - I made it last night but without the tuna and couldn't eat it. |

| In the first few weeks I felt like carb -y foods but in the last couple of weeks I have really gone off lots of things. I don't feel like meat at all - especially chicken which I normally really like. The things I have been eating lots are nectarines and blueberries. Also vegetarian sushi. |

Bump Anyone else having cravings?? At the moment i'm eating apples like nothing. I'm buying 4 a day at the supermarket and eating all 4 or sometimes 3 as DH steals 1 that day. It's not a bad craving - unlike last time all I wanted to eat was cream donuts and I was eating up to 4 a day, very bad. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Hehe, like Paws and Linelle were, I've been disturbingly keen on McDs breakfasts (was not that interested in them before).
Also just started wanting lime milkshakes - maybe I just need the calcium?! Actually, quite a lot of dairy food is making it's way into my diet already. ------------- Jo Jo http://lilypie.com">

Primo flavoured milk for me...I started having it as it eased heartburn (which is thankfully gone again for now) and now I just can't get enough. Chocolate, banana, lime mmmmmm. ------------- Ava Renee Born 18.12.06 8lb15oz |

Strawberry milk is still quite popular with me...though I think it may be a calcium thing? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I had a very random craving for a BIg Mac a couple of weeks ago, random because the thought of anything greasy or takeaway makes me feel queasy so it was bizrre - must be the special sauce.
Things I can't eat: chicken in any shape or form, pasta, greasy food like hot chips, I'm sure there are more... Oh, and carbs give me indigestion, which is super sad coz I am a big bread girl... But I do have a bit of a thing for egg and mayonnaise atm (home made so it's safe). -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

No whacky cravings, but yesterday (at breakfact-time) I opened a block of choc to have just 2 pieces... and before I knew it there was just half a block left sitting there... aaarrrggghhhhh!!! I used to be so into my fresh salads, but haven't been able to enjoy or even stomach them through this pregnancy. ------------- Andie |

I must admit I haven't really had any cravings either recently but have been eating a bit more than I usually would and perhaps a little more chocolate too  ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

Other than my one-off random craving for brussel sprouts earlier on, and an on-and-off craving for pizza for the last 3 months I haven't really wanted anything much this time. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Well, so much for "I haven't really wanted anything much this time"!
I had a massive craving for cinnemon-and-sugar on toast not long after posting before... so guess what I had for lunch! 4 slices too which is twice what I normally eat! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

I've got a thing for salt as well so ready salted chips are my favourite. I'm sitting here at work with apples, a bag of ready salted chips and a bottle of water. I'm kinda being healthy. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
