Top 10 Pregnant Mummy Cravings

During Pregnancy cravings can be a nuisance as well as a boon in a woman’s life. Craving can change by the minute, falling prey to everyone of your cravings can turn out to be a menace. The joy of pregnancy comes with the assortments of food that you get to have. You do not need to be a foodie to relish every ounce of mouth watering food you take in. These are a few common food that expecting mothers crave immensely:

1. Chocolates

Chocolates touch the ‘soul’, so do not feel guilty about diving into a bar of chocolates. Try indulging in low-fat chocolate that will help you feel better about consuming it. Chocolates do not harm your baby. In case you have second doubts, consult a doctor.

Junk food can take a huge compartment of your cravings. Try and slow down on a number of chips you take in while you are pregnant. Reduce the amount of oily potato chips you dig into. Instead, look for supplements such as baked chips.
