What cravings have/did you had???

Question

Just wondered what everyone elses cravings were when they were pregnant?

Mine were -
lemons - I must have eaten hundreds of them, plus the skin.
Ice cubes
Rice crispies
Banana and marmite sandwiches
bathroom sponges. I ate about 4.

Answer 1

Yes...Lemons...So weird isn't it? I also craved the fried chicken sandwhiches from Burger King...I don't think I've had one since nor do I even want one...but they were SO good when I was pregnant!!!

Answer 2

With my son... I was going through 6 or 7 cumcumbers a day, plus in late pregnancy I had a pica craving and nibbled my way through a pummice stone!

This pregnancy, I want to smell diesel fumes all the time or the stuff they paint fences with (creosote?). I'm having a girl, and am due at the end of September.

Answer 3

I had had quite a few cravings! At the moment, I'm on a passionfruit kick. I can't get enough of them! Quite strange really, as I never really even enjoyed them before pregnancy.

As most of my cravings happen during the middle of the night, my partner has been known to get out of bed to cook me up some chicken nuggets. He's also cooked me chips with vinegar and a LOT of salt on other occasions.

I found out by accident that I was craving KFC chips dipped in their chocolate mousse one night when I accidentally dropped a chip in my dessert. Since then, it's all I've been wanting to eat!

Finally Taco's have been a big weakness of mine. I don't want them in the normal shell though, I want them in the roll thingy - they taste great with LOTS of salsa and cheese.

Answer 4

for my first son, watermelon, salads, steak (the really big ones that could feed 4 people smothered in A1 sauce) tomatoes with salt and pepper, and elotes (boiled corn with parmesean cheese, butter, salt, pepper, pica salt) i used to chase down that poor man in his cart everyday!!!

for my second, it was anything and everything i saw and smelled. I hated that. I used to wake up, turn on the TV, see an IHOP commercial, wake everyone up to go get waffles and whatever else they had a special of, then when i was done eating, we would be 2 blocks away and i see a pizza ad, order a pizza before we even got home :| i go so freaking fat that time!

with this pregnancy, vanilla vanilla ice cream, and salad. at the moment, everything smells great, but my stomache can't handle too many flavors right now :(

Answer 5

my mom ate a big mac meal with a chocolate shake for dinner for 3 months. Also, watermelons, she said she ate them in half's. and my grandmother told me she ate maybe a thousand oranges, like 4-18 a day she would just eat them all day and everywhere she went. And did you really eat bathroom sponges, why what would make u crave them, did u put chocolate sauce on them or peanut butter?

Answer 6

I heard that there's no physical basis for such cravings, it's more like an excuse to eat things that normally aren't acceptable.
Sorry .

Ps: I hope the bathroom sponges were good.
Prehaps you could market them as a slimming aid .

Answer 7

I really craved Crispy Shredded Chilli Beef from the chinese. The hotter the better. I also really liked the smell of new fences! Weird I know!
I don't think sponges are good for you you know!

Answer 8

Edam Cheese and Banoffi Pie, when pregnant with my first child I ate a whole Edam round in one day and another day I ate a whole 8" Banoffi Pie! Also the ubiquitous Burger craving with my third pregnancy.

Answer 9

Answer 10

WOW! How do you eat a bathroom sponge? Did you dunk it in milk? LOL Sorry couldnt resist! :) When I was PG with my 1st daughter, I CRAVED Chicken Tender Sandwiches with Peanut Butter and pickles and I HAD to have Chocolate milk with it. I am 8 weeks PG with my 2nd now, and have yet to crave anything.
