Just wondered out of curiosity what your go to was for cravings? When I was pregnant with my daughter I had mild cravings for onions bhajis & chips in pitta bread (I say mild as it was now & again I wanted it at random times & when I wanted it, i wanted it!) now during this pregnancy I've had none (I know all pregnancies are different) but just wondered (something different to talk about I guess lol) I had a friend who craved talcum powder & ice cubes which I hadn't heard of before (the talc part)
🙈 I'm glad your cravings have passed now, I do love my chips swimming in vinegar but couldn't imagine it on everything. Can you stand the smell of it now or did you eventually go off it completely? X
Bless you, I hope you're not struggling too much with nausea/sickness? I'm still trying to shake mine off 🥺 I'm told it does get better but yet to find out for myself x
I've fallen for that too 🤦🏼♀️ I get all this energy & feel great but then it knocks me for six later on or early hours, but it's all worth it so I shouldn't complain I guess lol xx
Coal and chalk. Very random. Couldn’t eat either but spent an awful long time with my head in the coal bucket smelling the coal! Wasn’t anaemic either ( was tested), just weird 🤣 For the chalk craving I ate a lot of indigestion tablets!
Toward the end of the pregnancy I couldn't get enough of mandarins. I was eating them 2 or 3 at a time, up to 10 a day. I was in the supermarket every day buying more. Still, it could have been worse and it helped against pregnancy constipation!!
Mmm I do enjoy mandarins, I imagine it was the sweetness of them that perhaps you couldn't get enough of? I think its amazing how cravings can kick in so late in pregnancy, I'm hoping I get some with this one (hopefully something nice 😊) When I was pregnant with my daughter the mild cravings left as quickly as they came x
Sorry to hear, I sympathise completely as I'm the same. Had sickness really bad since week 7 & its not shifting... maybe that's why I havent got any cravings as I cant really stomach anything.
Have you tried any remedies? I wrote a post on here last week about nausea/sickness & the ladies were really helpful giving ideas about ginger for example but unfortunately nothing works for me personally. X
I’ve tried ginger supplements, ginger tea, I’ve swapped pregnacare for another multivitamin. I thought once I got into second trimester things would ease but not yet. Ive been to the doctor and I am taking two anti-sickness tablets still. I dread to think what I would be like without them! I’ll check out your post thanks. X
I ate alot of bread based things at first but just to get something in me as it didnt have a smell. My daughter would've loved to have lived with you during your cravings - she would live on pizza & curries for the rest of her life if she could xx
