Oh my goodness, look at her beautiful hair! Lola has that colour but there is not much of it yet. I'm hoping it goes mad curly like your LO. Don't know about the meaning of cravings. I went right off food for most of my pregnancy, and all I wanted was anchovies, jacket potato and prawns (from sainburys restaurant, not homemade) and lemonade. Everything else made me puke so I was told eating prawns although risky was better than nothing. Who knows what any of that would mean!

Susie,, Rrrrr thanks chuck about the hair. Colour same as mine and if it dont sound big headed yeah i think its a lovely colour lol. The curls are a complete PAIN in the bum...they curl up like a loose afro making the hair look shorter. Have to spray it with water to keep curls loose lol. Took till she was 2 years old to get a full head of hair.

Milk! In third-trimester of 1st pregnancy I drank nearly a pint a day. Couldn't eat much 1st two trimesters. LO hiccuped a lot in utero  and with hindsight probably was troubled a very little by reflux.

2nd pregnancy I craved very little and ate not much more than before was pregnant. Perhaps milk a bit. 2nd LO also hiccuped a lot in utero, a silent refluxer, on all the meds, now known to be CMPI.

Interesting one
With Zoe;
I craved natural yoghurt with maple syrup (mainly in the middle of the night) muslei, chocolate and ice cream. No wonder I put on 3 stone. She hiccuped madly through the last trimester
With this one it has been brown bread, hummus, eggs. And now chocolate is kicking in again but not in a big way. I have gone milk free as it gives me heart burn and will give up all dairy from the beginning of September to give it 2 weeks to clear my system..... But only 2 noticeable bouts of hiccups, and now 30 weeks so praying it will not be a refluxer and I can experience being a mummy to a "normal" one this time either way, fingers crossed it will sleep well.

cravings = chocolate and haribo! Both pregnancies! Put on 3.5 stone with the first, 3 with the second (but it "fell off" really, really quickly!)

But I got major aversions - tea/coffee (even the smell) made me puke. Red meat, anything dairy, and anything with a soft texture....

Massive amounts of hiccups with the first.... Number 2 only hiccuped twice (sorry Sarah B).

I craved for Pizza but couldn't eat as had severe heart burn. Any dairy gave me heart burn but kept on eating little dairy for calcium. Gone off coffee, chocolate and icecream completely!

Also craved for salads and fruits- did put on around one stone only.

Hi all thanks for posts....while pregnant with Paige (my refluxer) she always had hiccups from around 3 months on through pregnancy, I at the time had no idea this was linked to reflux. Mind you in all onist the only reflux I know was the happy chucker but fail to thrive. (niece had a happy chucker).

Isn't it strange how a lot of you seem to have gone off food????.

My first i craved, milk, pepperoni, kebabs, ice cream and five alive. Non refluxer although im starting to think she had a mild case. Also had heartburn all the way through my pregnancy and she was a hicuper

2nd never made it full term lost interest in all food most smells made me feel sick. Had heartburn all the way through again Can't recall any hicups. Silent refluxer with food intollerances.
