Why at some time during pregnancy months, the pregnant asks for unusual food, dishes from other countries, fruits or veggies from other season than the recent!
What does this mean?!

I was always told that this means there is some deficiency that they are dealing with.
Whenever someone craves these things, it is because it would have something in it that would provide for the deficiency.
This happens a lot during pregnancy because the baby is using so much of what the mother has in reserve so that it will be able to grow and be healthy. Sometimes, it causes a deficiency because the mother is not able to replace these nutrients as fast as the baby is using them.
This is what I have always been told.

when you are pregnant everything tastes different, some better, some worse. For instance, I can't STAND tomatoes this pregnancy, but I can't get enough mayo on a sandwich (great trade off, huh!!) Cravings may indicate that you are low an a certain vitami/mineral that your body wnats, and it tries to get you to eat more foods that have that vitamin. Or is the pregnancy crazies!!!

I sure it has something to do with your body craving certin nutrients your lacking, but I also know that you crave things simply because and that you are not satisfied until you get it. I craved sardines in Louisiana hot sauce on jalapeno chips when I was pregnant with my first son and with my second son I got something called Pica which is some kind of disease that made me want to eat candles and laundry detergent and stuff, yeah... weird I know but they put me on medication for it and everything. So I dont know why we crave things.

i think women get strange cravings because their bodies are trying to tell them that they need more of some kind of nutrients----for example:some pregnant women eat dirt and dont know why.... i heard that doctors say its because their body needs the different nutrients that are rich in dirt.....or maybe i'm wrong maybe pregnant women just get weird haha....hope i helped..................peace

Pregnant women get certain cravings... once they have them, they dont go away until satisfied...
It's just your bodies way of saying that you need something
