There’s one thing they’ll tell you about being pregnant: food cravings. It’s probably the topic moms talk to me about most often. Forget the needle sticks, the sleepless nights, the backaches. Moms want to talk about food.
For the majority of my pregnancy I would answer in the negative when asked if I was experiencing any food cravings because I associated pregnant food cravings with these weird combinations, like pickles and peanut butter. When I started thinking about it, I realized that I had cravings – they just happened to be totally normal foods that I’ve always enjoyed.
Like fruit. Really any fruit will do, but my favorites are strawberries, blueberries and grapes. It’s typical of me to create a very large bowl of all those fruits, either alone or combined, and then watch TV in bed while snacking. Multiple times a day visions of this bowl dance in my head.
