Cravings, a pregnancy symptom
Cravings
During pregnancy, you may experience strong desires for certain foods, which can range from sweet to savory, or healthy to unhealthy.
Is it normal?
Cravings during pregnancy are completely common.
Some women experience strong food cravings (think fried foods or even those pickles and ranch dressing), while others may not experience any at all.
Regardless of whether you get cravings or not, just know that this is a normal part of pregnancy for many women, pickles and all.
Prevent and care
Cravings are a common symptom of pregnancy, but it's important to manage them to maintain a healthy diet and avoid excessive weight gain. There are ways to indulge your cravings in a healthy way.
- It's challenging to prevent pregnancy cravings as they are often hormonally driven.
- Focus on moderation and choose healthier options when satisfying cravings.
- Consult with a healthcare provider if you have extreme or unusual cravings.
Pregnancy cravings are a common experience, with up to 85% of expectant mothers reporting them at some point. These cravings can range from sweet to savory, and they are often hormonally influenced.

When to consult?
If you are on the extreme with intense cravings or cravings of non-food items (like chalk, dirt or ice), it's best to consult your healthcare provider to ensure your diet is balanced and you are getting adequate nutrients.
Top Asked Questions
Why do pregnancy cravings occur?
Hormonal changes, nutrient needs, and heightened senses can contribute to cravings.
Are there cravings that should be a cause for concern during pregnancy?
While most cravings are harmless, unusual or non-food cravings should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
How can I manage cravings without overindulging?
Keep healthy snacks on hand, and try satisfying sweet cravings with fruits or yogurt.
