Hi,

This was one of the first signs I had that I night be pregnant - I went off raw foods and was eating bread and pizza and crisps. Im still eating some cooked foods but I have managed to up my raw percentage considerably now. I know that being totally raw would be best for the baby but I also feel it is better to have some cooked food if I desperately crave it than to ignore it and possible miss out on things. For example yesterday I fancied some marmite which I havent had in ages, but it is high in B vitamins.

When are you due?

Fiona

i had this problem too. i couldn't look at a green smoothie without feeling absolutely GREEN. I wanted soup and bread. And so I indulged. It was around 5 months that I started to feel more normal. I think as long as you remember to get some exercise in (walking and stretching) you'll feel good and get back to what you want to eat. The most important things is to make sure you get the iron and folate.
