Why is it that the preganent woman likes sour food ?!


Question: Hello:

Pregnant women don't just crave sour foods,they crave MANY different types of food! When I was pregnant with my daughter,I LOVED Mexican food with sour cream such as tacos,burritos,taco pizza,etc... I also loved Hostess chocolate cupcakes,and fresh salads with lots of vegetables and ranch or Italian dressing.

I really didn't crave the old stereotypical,"pickles and ice cream,"I just craved different things at different times that were sweet,spicy,or just plain old down home comfort foods! ;-) Alot of it has to do with a pregnant woman's constant change in hormones while she is pregnant,and then there is the comfort factor that she wants foods that tastes good to her,that are comfort foods that she knows and loves,especially when she is pregnant and exhausted! ;-)

It's not just sour food. They just get cravings. I craved oysters with mine. It was miserable because I couldn't afford them, so my craving was never satisfied!
i havent been preganent yet, but i think it depends on the person taste, craving and mood at different times...
Ha Ha, no kidding, when i was pregnant i loved sour stuff too, i could eat an entire Lemon,lol, no exaggerating here, i still love sours stuff and now to this day, my daughter is gonna be 8 in January and she absolutely loves sours things, i blame it on me eating it when i was pregnant. I also loved ice cubes..... strange;o)
