My bizarre pregnancy left me craving the food I’d always hated the most

A particular women’s bizarre pregnancy left her craving food that she has always hated the most out of anything. The food in particular that this women was craving during her pregnancy was that of popcorn. According to her somewhere in the beginning of her second trimester she began to have cravings for popcorn. Popcorn became one of the few things she could manage to eat and keep down.

Key Takeaways:

  • I had always wanted to be pregnant, and even before my wife and I started trying to conceive, I was already reading up and planning. I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I was going to take excellent care of myself throughout the pregnancy. Nutrition was key, and I planned to use my love of fruits and vegetables to carry me through. But pregnancy, it seemed, had different plans for me, and rather than eating the wide variety of nutritious whole foods I had dreamed of, I ended up surviving by stuffing myself on a food I actually loathe.
  • I tried my best to be a health-conscious mama-to-be. I found out I was pregnant, and two days later, I was in the kitchen merrily making kale pesto. Then, I got sick.
  • Now let me explain. In my normal life, with my usual tastes and preferences, I do not like popcorn. In fact, I hate it. I do not even eat popcorn at the movies (I know, I know, it’s sacrilege). The texture reminds me of Styrofoam, which I also abhor, but thankfully no one ever expects me to eat it.
