Cravings

Tuesday 2nd October

A few people have been asking about any cravings that I have had during pregnancy. Very early on I had a bit of a cheese craving - happy eating it at every meal or on its own as a snack. More recently I have been craving chocolate - not a great surprise to anybody that knows me, but am convinced that it is a genuine craving and not just me wanting chocolate. Apparently around 24 weeks babies develop their taste buds and actually like sweet foods - so that makes sense. The weirdest craving for me though is milk. It is my drink of choice at the minute and as well as my cereal on a morning i am having at least 2 glasses a day - pre pregnancy milk was something that was added to tea and coffee and that was it!

Am quite happy with this craving - it will not harm baby and in the meantime my nails are looking really healthy from all the extra calcium. Also surely dairy milk chocolate is a source of milk as well, so it all makes sense really!!

Will update you with any other cravings as i go along - so far Mike has not had to do an emergency run to the 24 hour shop for anything, but that might yet change!!
