Everyone has cravings now and then, no matter food nor something else. As for me, my cravings are usually centred around food that just pops up in my mind. For instance, I craved for jelly yesterday, and pizza today. But that's enough of me, what I want to write about today is regarding unusual pregnancy cravings. Haven't you ever wondered about the weird cravings that pregnant ladies usually encounter in the middle of the night, about the effects of the cravings and so on? I don't know about you, but I often come up with strange questions that often go unanswered, like what if the baby craves for a food that contains of substances that the mother is allergic to? Would she still risk her life to satisfy that yearning or ignore it? I once heard of a story of a pregnant woman who longs for the pungent petrol smell and had to get a whiff of it in order to get a good night's sleep. Wouldn't the long-lasting effect of sniffing petrol be taxing on the lungs and cause health deterioration?
I, for one, pity the husbands of the pregnant women. I learnt of a humorous story shared by one of the 'victims' through a radio station, where the husband ranted about his wife waking him up at 3 in the morning, claiming to yearn for mangoes. The frantic husband drove to countless of places in search of mangoes but as it was so early in the morning, all the businesses were still closed. Thinking of his waiting wife at home, he never gave up and eventually found some mangoes. However, by the time he reached home, awaiting for his wife's warm smile and laughter, his wife had already changed her mind about the mangoes. And so it lay sitting on the table until he, himself, ate it.
Anyway, that's the end for my post today, so goodbye for now!
