Pregnancy Cravings and Aversions: Why They Happen and When to Worry

One week you cannot stand the smell of coffee; the next you are weeping over a jar of pickles at 11pm. Cravings and aversions are among the most universal experiences of pregnancy — and among the least understood. This calm, practical guide explains exactly what is happening in your body: the hormonal shifts that reshape your sense of smell and taste, the blood-sugar changes that drive sudden urges, and the reasons certain foods become impossible. You will learn which cravings are harmless, how to manage aversions without wrecking your nutrition, and crucially, how to recognise the genuine red flags that deserve a call to your midwife or doctor. With practical swap lists, gentle strategies for nausea, and clear guidance on the difference between a normal quirk and a warning sign, this book helps you feed yourself and your baby with confidence, free of guilt and fear.
