People ask me all the time – What have you craved this pregnancy? And I can’t answer them, except with what food do I have aversions to….
….Roast chicken, BBQ pizza, lettuce leaves (especially Arugula/Rocket), herby tomato sauces.
In the past few weeks I have slowly been able to add these foods back into my diet. Except for lettuce leaves. I am hoping that after Rocky arrives that I get my appetite back for salad!
But interestingly what has also happened in the past few weeks I have woken up with a craving! Yes I have finally experienced a craving! This craving appears with no warning, it is sudden, there is nothing around me that makes me think oooooh I fancy some of that, it just appears in my head. I can smell it, I can taste it, I can imagine it in my hand, I can imagine it slipping down my throat and satisfying my big brain itch I have for…..CHAMPAGNE! FOR BREAKFAST!!!!
I promise you drinking champagne for breakfast is not something I would ordinarily do…ever really…except for in a bucks fizz or a mimosa.
The cool, crisp bubbles slipping down my throat, making me feel a little giddy from the alcohol has been my one and only craving so far. And as this is a craving I really shouldn’t be satisfying at this later stage of my pregnancy, I have not given into it. Not that I have champagne lying around my house or that I could go out at at the crack of dawn to buy some – which is just as well really because if Chris woke up to find me drinking champagne (on my own) with my cereal and toast for breakfast, I think he would send me to the mad house!
Rocky….your eviction notice has been handed to you – mummy needs some champagne! Stat!

There are some quite nice alcohol free sparkling wines out there, maybe you could try one of those? Might trick your brain into thinking it’s the real thing 🙂

A mimosa sounds delicious! I haven’t had any alcohol since March; I thought I would love a drink once baby was born but I’ve been so damn busy it hasn’t even occurred to me!

Hehe too funny! Back when I fell pregnant with my son I was a social smoker and my first trimesters I really craved cigarettes. It was so weird! Never had one, of course. I also didn’t like salad at all that pregnancy. Wishing you guys a great Christmas.

Ha! Our NCT class leader told us to pack champagne in our hospital bag! 😂 I haven’t missed drinking at all though, apart from when surrounded by drunken people at christmas parties (in which case I haven’t even missed it – I just feel like drinking to forget about how tedious they are!). I’m sure I’ll get my taste back later!
