Im around 7 weeks and still no big cravings, just a little off about food. Everyone keeps asking me kya khane ka mann kar raha hai and i have no answer haha. When did your cravings actually kick in?
Actually, my cravings for tangy things started around the 10th week of my pregnancy. Even after my delivery, which was a C-section, my taste changed completely during recovery. It's just a phase, so enjoy it gently.
My cravings for spicy food started around my 12th week. I asked my hospital dietitian about managing them, and she gave me great tips on healthy alternatives. You can definitely ask your hospital's nutrition staff for a plan.
Haha, for me, the craving for mid-night ice creams started the exact day I saw those two pink lines! But seriously, it usually kicks in around the 3rd month once the initial nausea settles down.
Typically, cravings peak during the second trimester as your hormones stabilize and morning sickness fades. Just make sure you are indulging in a clean, hygienic way, and don't eat unsafe street food.
For me, because of my early complications, I had to eat a very strict diet recommended by my doctor. Cravings usually start around the end of the first trimester, but do check with your doctor if you have extreme cravings for non-food items.
