Weird and whacky pregnancy cravings!


During pregnancy, many women find themselves craving unusual foods they typically wouldn’t choose.

Such cravings can include spicy dishes, pickled onions, peanut butter, and numerous others, with chocolate often topping the list of favorites, closely trailed by ice cream. The significance of whether these foods are part of their regular diet is minimal; these cravings reflect normal behaviors of everyday people. Nevertheless, some women experience truly bizarre cravings during pregnancy, and we mean genuinely odd!

Certain pregnant women may insist their partners venture out in inclement weather to fetch them odd items like ice, coal, mud, chalk, starch, rubber, and even the daily newspaper, claiming they can’t rest until their desires are satisfied. Fortunately for some partners, their pregnant significant others long for snacks readily available at home. Even with this, items such as toothpaste or bathroom sponges do little to stimulate the appetites of most, nor do laundry detergent, matches, or raw sausage chunks appeal to many. Undoubtedly, some of the most peculiar cravings reported by pregnant women include combinations like lemonade and soy cream cheese, dirt, hair, and believe it or not, bricks!!
