Hi I am 10 weeks pregnant and for some strange reason am craving orange juice(it is weird as i normally hate orange juice) I was wondering if maybe my body is lacking something. I am taking a prenatal vitamin as well as a folic acid vitamin. As any one else had this craving if so was it because you were lacking something.. Thanks in advance...

in my case it was juice any juice mostly orange cause it was there but i just had juice cravings..... I also had a massive chocolate craving lol

Its perfectly normal to have cravings darl and you only need to worry if you start getting non food craving (pica) wich dont laugh is quite common and in wich case i would go see your doctor just to make sure that particular non food craving is not harmful to bubs....

In my case it was apricot juice and peach juice I swear I drank 1 ton of it. And plane vanilla icecream I never liked vanila icecream nor have I eaten vanila icecream after the bitrh. I used to like white wine befor and othe alchohol, but even before I knew I was pregnant I had a sip of beer and it tasted discusting. And to this day (I got preg in june 2002 so almost 5 years ago) I could not drink alchohol at all. so your body does try to tell us things but when it comes to craving in most cases its just craving.

It could be but most likely than not its just a normal craving.

Hi there I'm 5 weeks pregnant and have also been craving juice real bad, not only orange but any kind and I don't think I'm lacking in any vitamins or anything. I personally thought it was just because being pregnant we always want to be healthy for our growing bubs therefore eating and drinking things that we might not have usually. I don't really know though so it might be wise to ask your doc but I don't think it could be anything bad. Good luck.

Choc mint slices and Smiths potato chips, I was told I have waving a girl because I craved the sweetness but then I was told my body needed salt I do believe that your body will let you know when you need something and maybe pregnancy heightened the awareness, I wasnt particularly fond of (still arent) sweet things or copious amounts of chocolate but every now and then Ill have to have a pkt of chips. I ended up having a boy, followed by girl, boy girl but only the first pregnancy had cravings. Have and enjoy your oranges, this to shall pass :-)

Cravings

When I was preggers I also craved orange juice like crazy.  I have an intolerance to oranges, but I drank gallons of it when I was pregnant.  I also craved pineapple.   don't know, something about the citric acid?

I say, as long as it's not harmful to you, then go for it.  My husband practically lived at the Dairy Queen, bringing me home pineapple blizzards or banada splits at all hours of the day.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I had a craving for fresh oranges, I HAD to eat 8 every day, very crazy I also HAD to have at least 16 in my house at all times or I would go into a panic
Like I said very weird, its the only time I ever had a craving during pregnancy.
I had a healthy pregnancy and a healthy daughter, but if you are worried at all always check it out with a professional either midwife or doctor

if you are really craving for orange juice have it my friend craved for it but she could not have it as she would come out in a rash with oranges so she could not have it. but because of this she became a living hell for her husband cause all she wanted was oranges so take it or you will drive everybody nuts

Hi Emily.
All through my pregnancy with my daughter I craved tomatoes and lemon juice. I don't think it was because I was lacking in vitamins. I got quite sick in the early weeks and found it hard to keep things down apart from the things I craved. Who really knows why we have cravings its just one of those odd things that pregnancy throws at you. As long as you have a well balanced diet then I'm sure orange juice is fine.
