Why do pregnant women crave certain foods?

 

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the desire for "pickles and ice cream" and other cravings might be caused by changes in nutritional needs during pregnancy. The fetus needs nourishment and a woman's body absorbs and metabolizes nutrients differently while pregnant.


These changes help ensure normal development of the baby and fill the demands of breastfeeding once the baby is born.

I am a student at Harborne Hill school.I am currently doing my food technology course work on pregnancy.I was just wondering if you could send me some information on why pregnant women tend to eat more junk food when pregnant. If you could please email me as soon as possible it would be very much appreciated .
Thankyou
