Craving is used to mean that the expectant mother suffers
from excessive amounts of food. It usually starts in the first months of
pregnancy, but it can start at any week of pregnancy. It usually decreases or
ends in the 3rd - 4th months of pregnancy and may rarely last until later
months.
The mother-to-be may over-request chocolate and some other
desserts, pickles, plums, various fruits, and various beverages. There is also
a condition called pica syndrome, where the mother desires to eat substances
such as soil, lime, sand, hair, soap, clay, chalk, matches. In the presence of
Pika syndrome, you should immediately contact your doctor.
What is the
reason for craving?
It is thought that craving may be related to some reasons
such as changing hormone levels during pregnancy, mineral vitamin needs or
psychological causes, interest, need for emotional support, but the exact cause
is unknown.
Does the
craving indicate that the baby is a boy or a girl?
There
is sometimes such a false belief among the public. Craving is not related to
whether the baby is a girl or a boy. The mother's sweet, sour, salty or any
food, beverage substance does not indicate that the baby is a girl or a boy-TRANSVERSE LIE POSITION IN PREGNANCY
