Cravings are different for every woman, and even for every pregnancy in the same woman! I am 25 weeks along with #2, and I haven't had any cravings in either pregnancy :)

I say I had no cravings, but occasionally I will really need cheese and milk. As for friends, there are antenatal groups and baby/toddler groups you can attend once the baby is born. Talk to your midwife about groups where you could meet people - you never know, you may just meet someone who would be a lifelong friend in the future who lives nearby and will have a kid the same age as yours. Also talk to your GP about counselling maybe - you don't want to get depressed or stressed when you are carrying another life around in you and that does affect the baby. I wish you all the best

Im sorry to hear that. Maybe u should move closer to your family to get help. Or close to his family cuz im sure they miss their son and would love to have a peice of him close to them. If you arent finacially stable then u can get help from the government. So u should sign up for all of that now if u need it. (food stamps, medical card, metro) and when the baby is born u can sign up for daycare assistance so u can work. If u want to go to school there are programs out there for single moms that allow them to go to school for free!!! U can do it u just hafta be strong for u and your baby. Make sure u stay happy so u can have a happy baby! your baby can sense when u are sad and it also brings the baby down. So keep your head up u will be ok! As for cravings every pregnancy and woman is different so I couldnt tell u. I didnt have any weird cravings at all with my daughter. I would just randomly get an idea of something to eat in my head and want it right that second! lol Good luck and im sorry about your loss

Sit back and enjoy the experience. My sister had cravings for chicken vindaloo through her 1st pregnancy, so her daughter didn't eat a curry till she was 12, she just could not stand em. I was just too damn nauseous (from 12 weeks to 36 weeks) to crave anything other than water which was the only thing that kept my stomach under control. I lost 3st with out dieting which was great.

Each person has different cravings but it won't come until later in the pregnancy. I just craved fruit mostly and then at the end I wanted ice cream or steak. But never any weird cravings for me.

Some women dont get cravings. Others can be from whole tubs of ice cream, or cold curry or even coal for the fire. It is possible to crave almost anything when ur pregnant. If its something unusual talk to ur doctor. Try not to make yourself ill !!!!

Every woman is different. I remember some of the cravings I had were for ice cream, strawberries, and raspberries.

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS THAT YOU HAVE JUST EXPERIENCED. IT REALLY MUST BE HARD.. I WOULD LOOK INTO BIRTHRIGHTS OR MAYBE WELFARE. UNTIL YOU CAN GET ON YOUR FEET. OR MAYBE MOVE BACK HOME CLOSER TO YOUR RELATIVES. BUT BE STRONG, YOU NOW HAVE A LITTLE ONE TO TAKE CARE OF. AGAIN I AM SO SORRY, I WISH I COULD DO SOMETHING FOR YOU. FOR THE CRAVINGS I ATE ALMOST EVERYTHING. EXCEPT FOR PICKLES AND ICE CREAM.
