Yeah I havent had cravings either, both times,...although I like ice now which is apparently due to low iron.

Boyfriend thought I had cravings in the first 3 months but really it was because the thought of most foods made feel nauseous so I'd fixate on the 1or 2 things that didn't. But been fine and dandy since then.

I didn't really get cravings at all with JJ (I was like RicKer and Sasha) but with this pregnancy I've had them since before I knew I was pregnant, so about 4 weeks pg I guess?

I had mad cravings in the early weeks for McDonald's Fries. Couldn't get enough of them! That lasted until about 12wks but had no cravings since then and I have 9wks to go

No cravings yet but it's very early days
I've been enjoying fruit, I definitely wouldn't say craving but eating alot more than usual.
I was stoked to find out I was pregnant 'cos I figured it'd be a good excuse to get DF to go to the shops at night and get me chocolate but I've had absolutely no desire at all for choc since before i found out. And that is a huge deal for me. I'd happily go through a big block in 2 days sometimes. I've probablt had 4 squares in the past 3 weeks!!!!

Mine pretty much started when I found out I was pregnant at about 9 weeks... Not sure if that was my mind going "You're pregnant... Time to start craving!" luckily it was healthy things like fruit, especially lemons... but I manage that one by just having a lemon flavoured lolly instead!

With DS I craved orange juice all through my pregnancy, & also cheese. Oh and in the first trimester I craved cheesymite scrolls but in the last trimester I craved Baker's Delight apple walnut scrolls.
This time around my only real craving has been ice-cream & lots of it!

Ruby Soho.... now that you mention chocolate, I must say that I have been eating a lot of it over the past month. I normally love chocolate and always get a block when we do the groceries but now I will go to the supermarket just to get chocolate which I wouldn't normally do. The other night I was lying on the couch feeling miserable and sent DP to the petrol station at 11pm to get me a Moro. He came back with 10 choc bars for me cause they were on special! lol Now whenever he goes to the mall or to get petrol, he stocks up on chocolate for me! Macadamia Whittakers is the best!
Glad I'm not having any weird cravings... my aunty told me that when she was preg, all she wanted to eat were those little lucifer fire lighters!! She never actually ate them but she used to dream about them!! lol

Chocolate... Yup actually I never really used to like chocolate. I'd eat it but not all the time, have to admit since about 12 weeks I have been craving it A LOT!

My cravings started quite early in the first trimester (around 6-7 weeks), I had to have manderins, mac n cheese, cheese & tomatoes on crackers (I normally hate tomatoes) and sausages.
Then from about 14 weeks or I didn't crave anything.
In the last probably 4 weeks i've started having cravings again, pineapples (I've probably eaten 8 in the last month) - am finishing one off as I type

I wonder if there's anything to the old wives tale about craving sweet things = girl, craving savoury things = boy??? Trying to correlate everybody's cravings to their tickers With JJ I didn't necessarily crave anything specific but I did really go off chocolate esp in early pregnancy (Ruby - maybe yours is a boy then ).
Hope2Be - you might want to go easy on the fresh pineapple  http://pregnancyglee.com/?p=26

Eating pineapple or drinking pineapple juice is said to be an old wive's tale to bring on labour for woman past their due date. Large amounts of pineapple juice can in fact cause uterine contractions. It's for this reason that in early pregnancy, it's suggested that you don't drink pineapple juice in excess amounts...
Fresh pineapple contains Bromelain which can also soften the cervix but it is said that it takes large quantities to have any effect which can also result in diarrhoea. |
(You have to have heaps, like at least one whole pineapple, and it has to be fresh, so tinned stuff is fine. Course you might want to be softening your cervix already anyway )

With Caden I craved savory things, like hot chips, pies, nacho's etc
With Isabella, I wanted lollies, chocolate, chocolate primo!
Cravings started as soon as MS kicked in!

I never had any my eating habits didn't change at all. i had no weird cravings and certainly never felt the need to eat 24/7 lol. Maybe I'm not normal?
The only difference was I ate smaller portions more often because there was no room to fit normal sized meals! Oh and the first 3 months I didn't really eat at all because I was so sick haha

I used to be a chip girl but since being pregnant I have to admit I have had a real sweet tooth....
Lately been craving cheese and it tastes so good to me. Also apples, which I normally don't love.
