Re: First signs of pregnancy & Cravings

LOL! It was when I fell asleep on the floor (for the first time in

my life), that I really realised I was expecting DD (bliss thinking

about that time - isn't the first preg so wonderful!) - I had a

morning only job and used to come home, sit down for a few mins and

wake up a couple of hours later! I didn't have morning sickness with

the preg, only slight evening nausea, and I feel sure that having

accidentally had all those sleeps did contribute to not feeling so

revolting. I used to eat masses of raw fruit and veggies and go out

of my way for them, almost a craving ... so when started doing that

for very unexpected first weeks of pg with DS began to wonder...!

Ah yes, the fascinating subject of cravings ... and the lengths to

which people have gone to satisfy them ...?

Also breastfeeding cravings (Suchard Milka for me, I'm just so

relieved they aren't owned by Nestlee at least they weren't 13 yrs

ago!) DGP (a lovely mum ) was trying to persuade me onto slightly

more sustaining bf cravings!

I had the worst constipation and cramps of my life,

starting about 2 days before my period was due. I finally

bought a test a week or so later - petrified of what I knew

the outcome would be!

Over the first 3 months or so, I was exhausted, but didn’t

get morning sickness. Sometimes, when eating, I would

suddenly feel a bit odd and have to stop eating right then,

but it never felt like nausea. Oh, and brushing my teeth

made me gag a bit. I was hungry all the time right from the

beginning (and won’t mention how much weight I gained by

the end of the pregnancy).

My strangest cravings this PG were lager (which I only indulged with the

occasional half and brushing my teeth - about 6 times a day!!

plus prawn cocktail crisps; avocados and apples.
