What cravings did you have during a pregnancy ?

G#Gill · 11-26-2009, 08:53 AM

As we have just found out that Koan is expecting an addition to her family, and seems to have a craving for bananas, I was just wondering what cravings other 'mums' had during their pregnancies!

When I was carrying my son, we lived in a village and the only shop was the little village 'store/post office', so I was a bit lucky when I got a severe craving for all things lettuce, cos our little shop had some in! I bought 2 of them, washed them both thoroughly and consumed one in one go ! The second one I consumed the next day, also in one go, and on it's own ! The following week I changed my craving to peaches, and there again I was lucky because that little shop, bless it, had just got some peaches in. I bought 6, ate 2 straight away, then the rest during the rest of the day. I went back the next day and bought another 6 !

Yes we all know that it is the body telling us when we have any deficiencies in our diet !

Have any of you had a partner/husband who has had sympathy cravings ?

I remember that when my mum was expecting my sister (14 years younger than me!), my mum didn't have 'morning sickness', but my dad had 'afternoon sickness' quite frequently ! The whole family pulled his leg about that, something rotten !

Tomatoes and PIZZA! (Only things I could keep down for 4 months)

My BIL knew my sister was pregnant before she did all 3 times. He got morning sickness; she didn't. What a guy!

With my son, I craved spinach and strawberry pie. With my daughter, I craved ladylocks.

With my daughter I craved oranges and milk. I used to go through about 4 litres a day of milk and that's really weird cuz I'm lactose intolerant, normally.

Don't know that it's always from a deficiency. I'm craving chocolate a lot now and, though that seems normal for women, I very rarely eat chocolate. I've actually had chocolate go bad in my house from sitting there too long

I have always been a tea drinker, but during my pregnancy I went totally 'off' tea, and started drinking coffee. This lasted for years, till about 3 years ago when I started to prefer tea at certain times of the day !

I'm just coming off a bread craving. I've had so many croissants, muffins, danishes and coffee cake (ok that's not really bread) I've...

oh, ok. the bread craving isn't gone. Going to the store for muffin mix

Banana bread's nice.

Don't remember any during pregnancy, though in the early stages each time I remember having a hypsersensitive sense of smell. And couldn't go near orange juice.

I did however have "literary" cravings. Massively.. First pregnancy - poetry. Second one - classical music. Third time - Mills and Boon romances. Fourth time - pop. Go figger. My son is a very serious person. He must never know he gestated to bodice rippers....
