Just got my positive few days back and im already eyeing imli and chaat all day haha. Is it too early for cravings or normal? curious when it started for u all.
After the long journey of IVF, my cravings started around week 10. It was such a sweet relief to finally feel normal pregnancy symptoms. Be patient with your body, dear, it will happen in its own time.
I felt like a different person around week 8 when I suddenly couldn't stand the smell of tea but wanted spicy pickles daily. It was such an emotional rollercoaster but so memorable. When did your symptoms start?
For me, the cravings started around the end of the first trimester, around 11-12 weeks, when the morning sickness settled down. Every pregnancy is different, so just eat what feels comforting for your body.
Around the second month, my mother-in-law noticed I was asking for tangy tamarind and immediately guessed it! In joint families, they have a hawk's eye for these things. It usually starts around 8-12 weeks.
Haha, mine started the day I saw the double line, or maybe that was just my excuse to eat double chocolate cake! Honestly, they usually kick in around the end of the first trimester when hormones go wild.
While cravings are normal from the late first trimester, please be careful if you crave non-food items like clay or chalk, which indicates deficiency. Always discuss your cravings and diet with your doctor to stay safe.
Currently in my 3rd trimester and my craving is literally just to sleep for 10 hours straight! But seriously, my intense spicy food cravings started around week 12 and haven't stopped yet.
Usually, they start around the end of the 1st trimester. No need to buy expensive exotic fruits, just local seasonal fruits or ghar ka simple khana like nimbu paani can satisfy those tangy cravings cheaply.
