I'm trying to conceive, and this past week I've had really strong urges for specific comfort foods, almost like I can't think of anything else. My sister said she had weird food cravings even before she missed her period. How early do these pregnancy food cravings usually kick in?

Our doctor at Max Hospital advised us that hormonal changes can trigger taste alterations around week 6. However, they suggested keeping a diary of what she eats to ensure she gets balanced nutrition. Do ask your doctor for a proper plan.

I started craving sour raw mangoes very early, around week 5. I kept worrying if my body was missing some vital nutrients. If you are feeling these sudden strong urges, just check with your doctor once for peace of mind.

For my wife, it started on day 15 after conception when she woke me up at 2 AM craving cold mango ice cream in the middle of winter! So yes, the crazy food cravings can start much earlier than you think.

I just delivered three months ago. My cravings for spicy tamarind started around week 6. It was so intense! I found that eating small portions of healthy food helped keep the extreme junk cravings at bay.

In our case, my wife started hating her morning coffee and craving orange juice around week 5 itself. It's totally normal for food preferences to change super fast early on.
