Pregnancy does some weird things to the body and it can cause some weird cravings. A new study reveals some of the most common pregnancy cravings, as well as some of the weirdest.
2-thousand women who’ve given birth in the last six years about their cravings and it turns out, nearly all (90%) had at least one food craving during those nine months. The top five most common were:
- A seasonal food that was out of season at the time (like pumpkin pie during the summer) 47%
- An unusual combo of foods (like peanut butter and pickles) 42%
- A specific food they could only get at one place 35%
- Junk food 33%
- And whole, natural foods (like fruit) 33%
Some of the strangest food cravings pregnant women had include:
- Pickles and cheese
- Sardines and ketchup
- And peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches, but with five bread layers.
