Dear Mommas, please tell me. What was your biggest craving when you were expectant? My sister used to crave for the stench of mens shoes ans sox. Now I think this one is abit crazy. A workmate is craving for the smell of human feaces! Yuck!

When I was pregnant, I use to crave for corn, not just ordinary corn but the Japanese variety. I always like to eat that. But after I gave birth, I don't like them anymore.

Yup, Japanese corn. It is not available near our place. I was staying then with my Mom in the province and the Japanese corn are bought n the highways going to the city. It's an hour and a half drive from our place. It's a very sweet variety and it's the only thing I can eat...nothing else...all the rest I throw out.

I have been pregnant 5 times with my first i craved ice creams and also ice cubes which i had to have added to all my cold drinks but that craving never went away. With my second and third it was starburst sweets counldn't get enough of them. With my fourth it was marmite but it had to be on a white crust nothing else would do. I didnt really have any cravings with my fifth pregnancy.

When I was expecting my first daughter my cravings were barbeques and potato wedges or baked potato w/sour cream and spinach w/shredded cheese. With my second daughter my craving was Long John Silvers fish, not just any fish it had to be from Long John Silvers.

Yes, I got pregnant twice. The first time I craved for just hard caramel candy because I found that it relieved my feeling of nausea. The second time, I craved for something salty - actually anything salty.

Hey Jane, Thanks for your response. I see your craving was not that serious like the two above. Yes I agree with you about salty things because most women crave for salty things. I wonder what I am gonna crave 4 when i conceive my first baby. Hope not a funny one. Happy myloting dear.

i never craved anything out of the ordinary, just anything and everything i didn't need to eat. anyway, ny friend craved laundry detergent, the powder kind and when she went to the doc he told her that it was from deficiency, or low iron. if you are craving that or something non edible then you should see the doc.

Hi Mama, good to hear that you did not crave for funny things like my friend here. Thanks the advice to go and see a doctor. Too bad they already gave birth to healthy and bouncing babies. I think craving for poop smell is not dangerous! Thanks for your response.

When I was pregnant with my son all i ever craved was French Toast, Morning noon and night.. there was times I would wake up in the middle of night to make it if I didn't have any left overs from supper... Trust me it was awful my poor husband couldn't take it anymore so he actually had to make his own supper and i would be stuffing my face with French Toast... Now today 8 years later I hardly ever even make it.. when I do though the first question I get is... Are your pregnant?...lol I'd just giggle!

I have never craved anything disgusting, I craved chicken skin with my first pregnancy, I would cook a whole chicken, just to eat the skin, and also roast potatoes and apple sauce. With my second pregnancy it was ice, the third pregnancy it was ice and fried egg sandwiches and my 4th pregnancy I was so ill that I hardly ate a thing from the 25th week.
