A comment from Gagagran on another post got me thinking about taste changes during pregnancy. I can't remember having any cravings but I did go right off alcohol (only for the duration lol wine hic!) and stopped biting my nails, forever.

I was so proud of my new talons I painted them a bright orange. At the first checkup I had with the GP he told me off as he wanted to see the nails to gauge my calcium levels!

It was the smell of carpets with me - and also creosote - I would walk to work a particular way where the fencing smelled particularly strong! With my second son it was ice cubes - I devoured tons of the things and would sit on a night with a glassful chinking away with a spoon. Strangely I still love ice lollies and generally eat one every day - as I can't taste them it's the texture I love.
