When did you start craving and was it "Sweet for girl, Salty for boy?"

[MrsClark24]

I'm only 6 weeks and not having full cravings but I've gone off sweet stuff and I'm after potatos, rice and starchy foods. What about you?

 

[Bekah78]

I can't eat enough fruit. Even fruit I'm not a big fan of normally (apples) taste amazing to me now. I just like fresh tasting stuff at the moment if that makes sense.

I'm completely off anything spicy and normally I'd love a curry. Even learnt how to make both Thai and Indian style curries from scratch. Crisps just taste oily to me.

By normally I mean pre pregnancy. I'm 24 weeks along and I've been like this most of my pregnancy.

We are team blue.

I craved sweet with my son, fruit mostly.

 

[MrsBlueEyes]

I never heard this before! I'm only 5 weeks, but lately I've been craving fruit. Not sure if it's just because I want to eat healthy, but I think I've eaten more fruit in the past 2 weeks than I ever had (I normally would have 1-2 servings per day and now it's like 3-4 servings). I'm enjoying a nice smoothie right now. I'm also craving chocolate. I was eating chocolate chips last night because that's all we had in the house! I guess it balances itself out, right?

I craved fruit and sweet/sour Chinese food with my DD almost immediately. With my DS when I was over my morning sickness, at about 15-16 weeks. I guess I would consider both of those to be sweet. I'm craving salty with this baby so I have no idea what it'll be.

 

[MummaMoo]

With my little girl our house was like a fruit shop! It was stacked everywhere! Melons and grapes galore!

 

[LoveCakes]

I craved salty things with my girl; I normally have a really sweet tooth

 

[cooch]

With my son I craved strawberry everything. Didn't have any sickness. But pretty much ate like a horse throughout the pregnancy.

I'm only 5+1 this time and haven't really been craving anything.

 

[minties]

I've always craved salty or savoury when pregnant.

 

[babydustcass]

With my DS i craved takeaway carbs and crisps, sausage rolls, macdonalds and anything salty, cheese!
With my DD all i wanted was chinese, sweets, cake, and puddings lol
With this baby i am loving sandwiches with ham and mayo and cucumber or tuna mayo and cucumber, must have cucumber, fruit, orange juice with bits and mature cheddar cheese and pickle on crackers

 

[Caitie44]

With my daughter I wanted anything sour - sour Skittles, Sour Patch Kids, LemonHeads, etc - and fruit. Especially cantaloupe. I'd sit and eat huge bowls of cantaloupe daily. Those were the only cravings I had the entire pregnancy, except for random thoughts of "Oh, that sounds good today." But I mean I do that anyway lol.

This pregnancy I crave everything. Air Heads, Sour Patch Kids, Chinese food, last night it was grilled cheese and tomato soup, veggie soup, basically anything I can digest I'm craving!

 

[CJHanson]

I craved salty, spicy and sour things with my boys.... Never sweet. Same this time.... Spicy, sour, salty and she's a girl!

 

[Tanikins]

Im craving oranges and spicy foods

 

[ButterCup17]

With my first I craved sweets right away. I ate like 13 kinds of fruit per day lol and I was obsessed with Bob Evans chocolate chip pancakes with chocolate sauce AND syrup! But it was a boy! No real cravings yet this time but I do have aversions (same ones as last time) to eggs and chicken

 

[Marthea007]

I typically love sweet things, but now i just want salty. And if for some reason i want sweet, its either salted caramel or peanut butter with chocolate.

 

[Reidfidleir]

I craved fruit and veggies with my son. The fresher the ingredients the better!

With my daughter I craved salt and protein. Including meat!

 

[Jennifer.]

Ugh I wish I had cravings!! I'm 9 weeks 2 days and still have yet to have cravings. I just got out of food aversions thank god

 

[BrittRashel]

I craved sweets the whole time with my first boy. With this one, I craved salty food in the first trimester and sweets for the rest of the pregnancy. There really is no coordination between those old wives tales and gender.

 

[InVivoVeritas]

This time and last time I want fresh veg all the time -- eating lettuce by the handful.

Also, I seem to have gone off meat completely.

 

[Buffyx]

I was all about the sweets from day 1 with my daughter!
