“Food Craving” the most common pregnancy symptom
“Do you crave food?” or “What are your pregnancy cravings?” are often asked questions. But the truth is you may not have a food craving during pregnancy. Food craving often begins early in the first trimester, increases in strength in the second trimester, and often stops in the third trimester. Also, the type of foods that every woman crave differs, some women crave fatty foods, while others feel a strong desire for strange types of food, & some crave foods that they did not eat before pregnancy; however, try to eat healthy foods as much as you can and consult your doctor if you crave things that aren’t food like toothpaste, charcoal, or even soil, as this could be a sign of vitamin deficiency.
