My sister-in-law is pregnant and she's suddenly craving some really odd things, like pickles with ice cream! She said it just started. When do these weird pregnancy cravings typically begin?

Cravings usually start in the first trimester, around 5-6 weeks, and often peak in the second. While it's fine to indulge a little, remember to keep your diet balanced. Don't let cravings completely derail your healthy eating habits.

Ankit Sharma · Answer

Weird cravings can kick in pretty early, some women report them in the first trimester itself. But don't start believing all those old wives' tales or internet 'remedies' about cravings predicting baby gender or anything. Just eat what's safe and consult your doctor for any dietary concerns.

Oh, the cravings started for me around 6-7 weeks! Suddenly I needed specific things, like raw mangoes in the middle of the night. They can be pretty intense and surprising. They tend to ease up a bit in the third trimester for most.

Pregnancy cravings can start surprisingly early, sometimes in the first trimester, around 5-6 weeks. While indulging is normal, it's crucial to be mindful of what you eat, especially if you have high blood pressure. Avoid excessive salty or sugary foods, and keep up with your regular checkups.
