Food cravings during pregnancy is a complex matter and no one can really tell why these cravings happen. However, a recent study has come up with some weird food cravings pregnant women have.
The survey conducted by OnePoll stated that mothers sometimes crave bizarre food combos such as pickles and cheese, peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches with five bread layers, during pregnancy.
According to the survey, 89 per cent of women among 2,000 who gave birth in the last six years experienced at least one type of food craving during their pregnancy. While 42 per cent had unusual food cravings, 35 per cent of women wanted a specific food that they could only get at one place.
The study also concluded that despite all cravings 50 per cent of the women started eating more nutritious foods by the end of the first trimester and 68 per cent started taking a prenatal vitamin for better health of their unborn baby.
