Feeling the need to suddenly want to munch down unusual combination of foods? What about being wide eyed about an ice cream flavor that you never thought possible to have? Then you might be in for something new, pregnancy. All the weird and unconventional combinations of menus grab your attention. Then you want to have lots of sweets and dairy products. Not your usual self, but is does feel good when you are able to indulge in those cravings. This is a natural occurrence that you shouldn't be alarmed with. They can be unpredictable yet it will pass after you're done with the first trimester of the pregnancy.
They say that it can actually be capable of telling you what gender the baby has, although no scientific proof can back it up. How? Well, simple if the cravings' tendencies are geared towards sweets then it's a girl. For the more sausage meaty and cheeses or dairy products then it's going to be a boy.
For a more scientific kind of indication cravings are actually found to be the nutrients, vitamins and minerals the unborn needs. It may be bizarre to know that a pregnant woman can crave for dirt, clay or chalk. This doesn't indicate her losing her mind. Rather one common component of those things is iron. That can be translated as the baby needs iron in its system because that particular mineral is lacking in the diet of the mother. Can your doctor right away, your might be needing supplemental medicines or whatnot to rectify this condition. When the baby's bones are forming, calcium is immediately required. That's why you love to deep your spoon into ice cream and nibble on some cheese. Salts can account for the body's need to have more sodium due to the increase in volume of the blood.
The baby and your body are communicating constantly. Their language is not like the spoken one. It manifests in different ways. It can come out as sort of weird but that's how their system works. Yet you often don't get what these cravings are really actually pointing at. We interpret most of them in a completely different manner. Take for example this, your body needs more vitamin C, all it will tell your brain is heighten the senses pointing towards the right direction. But, for instance the first sense that was triggered to show the sign is the taste buds. And you happen to just walk pass through the grocery isle of chocolates, then the message of sweet was inaccurate. Instead of going for the ripe oranges that also tastes sweet, you went to get the chocolates instead. This message malfunction often happens and you end up have gain too much weight in the process.
The question in you mind will probably be, how to control it. Well, basic balanced diet can do wonders for your cravings. Every meal must have all the food groups so that you're not missing out on any of them. Eventually, the cravings will be lesser. It will never go away, as long as the body needs get some requirements to do its job properly. Don't bottle those cravings it, give in to it. The trick is to have everything in small portions. Try to be kind to your health as well as your child's development. Indulging your cravings is not synonymous to gobbling down pints and quarts of everything that comes to mind.
