The cravings thread...
There are plenty of parents on here and I'm sat watching Nat (31 weeks gone) gobble through her second Frijj milkshake in as many minutes, so I wondered what cravings the members (or members' partners/mistress/wife) had when pregnant.
Nats is simply dairy... yogurt after yogurt and bottle of Frijj milkshake one after the other (good job they're 50p from £1.10 at Asda currently
).
Me? I've craved chewy sweets like Fruitella and Fruit Pastels whilst she's been preggers - how weird is that

I used to love to chobble on ice cubes or freeze pops! Apparently that was related to my anemia.
Another weird craving was the smell of rubber products. I used to love going anywhere with new things like tyres or carpets and have a good old whiff.
There wasn't really any food that I craved though.

Wife was pregnant with twins this time last year - it was horrendous.
Didn't really crave anything - although really wanted a chilled bottle of lager, every time she would see one on telly or an ad for one.
She didn't like the smell of food cooking, to the extent where it would make her throw up - if she was sick (pregnancy sickness) after anything she had eaten, she would not have that food again. Didn't like the feel of raw meat, so I got to cook, which I hate. Would start to make dinner, by the time it was ready, she would have decided she wanted something else, or didn't want to eat at all.
Would agree to do something on a weekend, then minutes before we were due to leave the house would change her mind. Would cry for hours for no reason, set off by the most bizzare things.
Good luck with it all COB and Mrs COB. The day they are born is awesome though, and all the nonsense above fades into oblivion.

Sunds like I've been lucky so far then. Nats only had one quick bout of crying, related to her pregnancy belly
Totally random but thankfully didn't last hours

When my wife was pregnant I got into those Frijj thickshakes and used them to wash down muffins, I put on a stone! Aren't they quite high in fat?

With both our kids my missus had a craving for Gaviscon.
She got through bottles of the bloody stuff but then she did have bad heart-burn.
I just had a craving for sexual intercourse.

All of my cravings were for none good items!
Although I remember going to macro and buying two of those pub sleeves, the ones you hang on the wall.
One scampi fries and one bacon crispies. Not so much a pregnancy craving, as I still love them now, but I had never tried them until then.
I do think people just thought I was a porker! When I left work the 'clients' aka parents wondered why I was leaving, so I can only assume I looked really fat, and not 37 weeks pregnant!
I tell myself that I put on a healthy amount of weight! My belly was huge though, nowhere else
