I never wanted to be a housewife, cleaning, cooking and coffee mornings. How things have changed! I'm a 30 ish, married, English mum now living in Germany. The challenge: to become a less helpless housewife.

Sweets, milk, toast and plastic cheese

Crazy cravings? Well more like desperate comfort food to try and ease the incestuous sick feeling. As when I was pregnant with my daughter it starts with feeling sick all day every day and then changes to the occasional bout of sickness and a easing of the constant queasiness. Shortly after finding out I was expecting we took a weeks holiday to Austria. I found travelling in the car very difficult but boiled sweets seemed to help and became my constant throughout the week. Soon they lost their appeal and on our return home I found a glass of milk first thing in the morning eased the sickness, not for long. Then in the following weeks toast seemed my savior followed by a spell of liking plastic cheese sandwiches. It all follows a similar trend of fancying a particular snack, which I then enjoy for a while, then out of the blue I can't stand the sight of said food and some other random item takes it's place. Usual pregnancy madness!
