Common Mistakes To Avoid During Pregnancy

Giving In To Too Many Unhealthy Cravings

It's natural to feel unusual cravings during pregnancy, and eating some junk food shouldn't have a detrimental effect on mother or baby. But giving in to too many unhealthy cravings can make a woman's pregnancy more uncomfortable. Researchers aren't exactly sure what causes pregnancy cravings, but there are a few theories. Hormones may be to blame for some of it. Surging hormones create changes in the senses. Women might be wanting foods that are sweet or fit a certain sensory texture. Fulfilling cravings can also be emotionally fulfilling, especially when pregnancy hormones cause emotions to be all over the map. Since different foods affect everyone differently, women should always talk to a doctor about what they're eating while pregnant.
