Some of us ladies crave the wierdest things during pregnancy. I craved burnt fried eggs. But the strangest thing is we don't realise what we feel like at the time is odd. Or is that just me? I read about one lady craving candle wax! Did you have wierd cravings?

As i know , every women are the same when pragnancy that they will habe a craving. But i had heard of is they crave for food, sometimes they want to eat hamburgers, sometimes they want pasta,,etc,,,but i had no idea on how the craving is created ,i guess it is due the the hormones in your body that create the craving,but it seems too strange if one woman crave for candle wax.......lol..

I suppose it must be our hormones. I have also heard of someone eating coal.

you're body at any point in time will crave what it needs. it enhances when pregnent because of the hormones. i didn't really crave unusual things. most of the 'weird' stuff i ate i wasn't even pregnant. like i mixed a giant cruton (unflavored) put a slice of banana on it with a little whip cream on top...it was actually pretty good. pop that in your mouth and it tastes like a banna cream pie. and i also replaced mayo in a ham & cheese sandwitch for whip cream and it didn't taste that bad either. anyway....when i was pregnent i just craved things that i couldn't get. like i wanted lycee ice cream when it was out of season. i wanted my husband to get me things he couldn't find in this state. it was really funny. but i never craved anything that wasn't food. i heard that that was a little bad and you should tell the doctor about it. it normally means your body isn't getting enough of the nurtirants it needs and it can become dangerous for the baby.

It is normal that during pregnancy women craves for something unusual.hormonal changes...and sometimes psychological..but whatever reason it is the important thing is you have to take that thing you are craving for or else something might happen to your baby "old people's saying"hahaha
