just wondering if there were any common foods that women craved or wanted when having a little boy
With my first son, all I wanted was beef! And I had not been a beef eater for 12 years prior to that. With my second son, I craved salty things. My favorite was a salt bagel with butter.
i was thinking that maybe women that have or having boys craved savoury thing and maybe women that were having or had girls were craving sweet thing just a though i might be wrong but with all my girls i craved cakes ice for the crunching feeling
I definatly think I crave more salt than sugar and Im usually a sweet tooth and Im om boy 3:mad:
I didn't have any cravings as such with DS1, but then he was born at 30 weeks so I never really got into my third trimester. With DS2 all I craved was milk. I had to have a pint before doing anything else each morning. The only thing cravings have taught me is that DS2 doesn't like cows milk!
Personally I don't think there's any link with cravings and gender :bigsmile:
Pickled onion monster much, chutney and cheese. Not just cheese, but great big hunks of cheese, I couldn't get enough of it!
I loved sugar both my boys! lol I made dh go to the doughnut shop and pick up a dozen doughnuts for my midnight snack! ..I actually ate everything. but I hated anything sour..lemons and oranges.
SALADS! Salads every day with lunch meat and cheese and strawberries and kiwi fruit with thousand island dressing!!!
Yes, lunchmeat I know.. I didn't know about it.
I can't do salads like that this time with this pregnancy..well I could not until at least 26 weeks.. every time I tried it would come back up. I can do some salads now, but they still aren't too appealing.
I didn't have any cravings with DS1, only aversions. The kind of food I could eat was salty and savoury. With DS2 I craved fruit juice, I would drink a couple of litres a day. It was costing me a fortune, the amount of juice I would buy in a week!
so if women are craving both foods then maybe there is no gender association with food but it was just i a though and thanks ladies for the feed back
with my girls I ate lots of ice cream and cereal, now I LOVE sugar and all food in general
I've talked to TONS of people about cravings and pregnancy over the last 5 years, and there does not seem to be any correlation with it whatsoever. It seems to be more about what your body needs and nothing to do with baby's gender.
the OWT is that with girls you crave sweet and with boys you crave salt, and that wasn't true for me. i craved sweets with ALL of mine and def. wanted salt with my girl. I never eat mustard and I ate it constantly when I was pg with DD. The only thing I didn't really want much of with her was meat, but I've never been a big meat eater when pg anyway.
Just goes to show, boys DO like dairy!Quote:
