A bit of light hearted relief.

Did you have any odd cravings whilst pregnant?

I went through a stage of eating a lot of anchovies - and I mean A LOT! Makes sense now as Edward still craves salt and loves salty food which is worrying but not surprising as DP and I are the same.

Then it was tesco value macaroni cheese. It had to be tesco value and I ate at least one a day and sometimes 2 or 3! Couldnt cope without my fix!

I also went off mushrooms, parsnips and red wine. I can eat mushrooms now but still cant eat parsnips or drink red wine without feeling queasy.

I'd forgotten that one. Mine were all savoury and of course I had a boy. My mum has never had a sweet tooth but she craved chocolate with me.

Where does that leave you if you crave ice or coal then?

Ooooh I had lots of cravings! With Rebecca it was fruity ice lollies - I used to eat about 10 every evening. I went right off coffee - couldn't bear the smell of it. With Ruthie it was chipshop chips in brown paper with loads of vinegar and brown sauce. I had to lick the paper afterwards! Also craved Big Macs - infact everything fattening!

With Cameron it was Creme Eggs - I still love them! When she was pregnant with me, my mum used to sniff firelighters!!! And my auntie used to lick a certain bit of paint in her hall on the way past!!!!!xxx

I craved beetroot! I would come home from wirk and get the jar out of the fridge and a fork and sit in front of the tv and eat! I went off tea and milk for a while, which is odd coz I uasually drink tea by the bucket full! And Heinz beans and pork sausages made me sick! I used to eat them all the time, but now I won't touch them, just in case!

Ice, I've recently found out can be a sign of low iron levels, not sure how true it is but as far as coal is concerned...i aint got a clue lol.

I've not really had any cravings, I just go through a phase for a day where there's something I want and need but it's always something savory, could it really be true about savory for a boy?
