Cravings

Aside from the actual baby and being pregnant, cravings are what I looked forward to the most.  I love food and I love to eat, so naturally I was always curious to see if I'd have the "pickles and ice cream" type cravings.  I'm still very early and according to websites and iphone apps, I'm 5 weeks.  This is still to be confirmed by the doctor.  For the past few weeks, all I can think about is MEAT.  Red meat.  Korean BBQ, Steak, Burgers (whoppers). 

The top 8 pregnancy cravings and why you're getting them... The craving: Red meat and steak fat
The problem: Blood cell growth
A lot of women have cravings for red meat while they're pregnant. Red meat has high levels of the vitamin B6, which is important in the red blood cell formation of the baby. Homeopaths suggest eating three to four 2x2cm sized cubes of steak or pork every morning to speed up the level of blood cells being made. A great excuse for a bacon buttie!
