“Yeah, so my weirdest food craving during pregnancy was pasta. Why weird? Well, because I never touched pasta before I was pregnant. When I was pregnant, I tried all sorts of seasonings on my pasta. Be it creamy and cheesy pasta or pasta with spicy mushroom sauce, my pregnancy was all about pasta and pasta”.
Claire Steven
“When I was pregnant with my second child, I developed a sweet tooth. I would want something sweet with every meal. I was scared too because I did not want to have diabetes or gestational diabetes for that matter. So, yes, that was my second pregnancy in a nutshell”.
Sally Hawksworth
“My pregnancy cravings consisted of pickles and spicy food. I was always a great fan of spicy food even before I received the good news but pregnancy almost amplified my cravings for spicy and well-seasoned food. Well, my accelerated craving for spicy food became a boon for me because I started experimenting with dishes to suit my palate”.
Anne Drover
“When I was pregnant, I became addicted to peanut butter. I mean I was so addicted that not a single day in my life would pass without peanut butter. I ate peanut butter sandwiches almost every morning for my breakfast and I even drank banana and peanut butter smoothie every alternate day. Thankfully, I had a healthy pregnancy food craving because I have observed my friends and others having such unhealthy cravings, like chips, pretzels, cupcakes, and so on”.
Kathryn Worthington
“It’s difficult to name one because I had several. My cravings were very spontaneous. One day I would crave for mashed potatoes seasoned with salt and pepper and the very next day my cravings would be for popcorn. Also, I am not much of a foodie so I was never fussy about any particular dish. Now I know why my little girl loves mashed potatoes, I ate them a lot when I was pregnant with her so she has grown a taste for it”.
