I went through a phase of massivly loving Hot dogs & cheese burgers (heeeey faaaatty :P) but then i found out we aren't supposed to eat hot dogs so stopped that now. What i would really love but cant have is some pate on toast, its going to be the first thing i eat once ive had my baby haha xx

  • When i was pregnant with my daughter (8 in feb scary!!) I didnt really have any cravings for things that i wanted all the time. I did however really crave a bowl of peas with butter melted on the top 1 day so i rushed to tesco and bought a bag and thats all i ate all day! strange! With my son my cravings were right at the beginning of my pregnancy so in the first 20 week. I wanted sweet cold things so ended up eating lots of ice lollies or fruit that had been kept in the fridge! I went off foods too with both pregnancies. With my daughter i could not stand the smell of pork being cooked, so no bacon sausages etc were cooked from about 12-20 weeks pregnant. With my son it was beef between 12-20 weeks! My partner was not happy about that as he loves beef! lol
