Most pregnant women eat right, eat healthy, and stick to the basics. Unhealthy women have weird cravings because they're body is lacking certain nutrients, or they have a chemical imbalance.
I eat lean, cooked meat - cooked & raw vegetables, and fruits. I like whole-grain bread, sharp cheddar cheese, and bananas especially.
The weirdest thing that I eat is a banana & peanut butter sandwich on whole grain bread.
Whoever you've been seeing eating what you think are nasty things - then they probably need to give the doctor a call or rethink their food pyramid.
Pickles and ice cream is an old joke.

Actually, I hear that you crave what your body is lacking.
So, if you are craving milk or ice cream, you might be low on calcium,etc.
All, I know is I craved Bacon, Guacamole Burgers and I am usually a vegetarian!!

They have cravings, because, the baby also uses many of the foods their caretakers eat.

honestly, i cannot tell you the magazine i read it in, but if a woman lacks a nutrient or a vitamine, she will crave something to get it. but then it doesnt make sense because that magazine also stated that women have been known to crave motor oil, tar, and dirt. so i dunno. i didnt crave when i was pregnant. i wasnt really hungry at all.

All I craved during both of my pregnancies was home cooked meals like fried chicken and mashed potatos.
