Hi girls, has anyone started getting cravings early in their pg?

just for a couple of wks i've sometimes looked at the fruit salad and had it for lunch instead of my butties, and today i fancied couple of boiled eggs but wasn't going to have them till later for lunch and ended up having them with my toast for brekkie.
so has anyone had cravings starting this early of 5+4wks pg?
I'm curious as to know when did you start craving certain foods of how far along were you?

love, hugs and happy bumps

Before i even knew lol

Hey Sherri

I was craving Ice cream really bad... before I even knew lol!! Which must have made me about 7 weeks (ish).

If you have cravings it's just your body's way of getting what you need... so go for it lol

Hope your well

It's strange!!

My appetite has seriously decreased, i just don't know what i want!!! But i def know what i don't!!! I used to eat 3 apples a day, but now the thought of one makes me want to gag! It's the same when i think of cooked veg, i used to like nothing more than steamed veg cooked al dente with just black pepper and a squeeze of lemon for dinner and now i can't stand it!!!

I have no cravings yet. I just hope if i do it isn't ice cream or bread!!! or i am gonna be in trouble! If you haven't read my reply to when you start showing.....i am 8 weeks on wed and gone from size 8 leggings to size 14!!!! ALREADY!!!

Hiya ems

if you read my post at the bottom to sarah my appetite has decreased as well, and i'm not bothered bout having chocolates either and i love my chocolates.
the weird thing is that after i had shelled the eggs you know the smell they have well i nearly gagged on it, but i was ok to eat it them, go figure!

Hey hun

I don't think there is a certain time when you start getting cravings. I think you can start at anytime.
I had cravings with my first about 6 weeks. I craved haribo sweets and apple juice lol. I lived off that and oat biscuits right up until 13 weeks when my sickness stopped and I started eating like a pig

If you fancy something, then eat it. It's your bodys way of telling you that it's short on a certain vitamin or mineral, so you need to eat it.

Hi sherri

Hi there...

I had a few cravings, which didn't last early on. I think if your body is needing something, ie, protein you will crave the eggs for example. Just listen to what your body is telling you...

Hiya

well ive been wanting things fruity, jellies, chews etc... not actual fruit tho, wiered. i started getting them at around 7 weeks ish. althought i kinda went off meals and anything filling right from the beginning. i still only tend to eat snacky stuff or small portions. hoping my apetite will come back soon tho cos i know im not eating properly for the baby. enjoy any crazy cravings while you can lol

Hiya sarah

it's nice to hear from you hun.
thank you, hey well i have read in my many pg books that in the first trimester it's ok if you're not eating as much so long as you're having your pg vits and mins as the baby gets enough nutrients from us to start of with. when you get past the 12 wks everything is meant to settle down so that you can get stuck in with your normal size portions again.
i think i might have gone off chocolates as i went round a friends yesterday and she had a box of chocolates on the table and said help yourself and i just left them well alone otherwise i would have had two or three chocs as soon as she had said help yourself! lol
tc yourself hun
