Until now, according to dietary preferences, as well as the shape of the pregnant belly, some people are trying to guess the sex of the unborn child: (they say, craving for sweets indicates that there will be a girl, for an acute, salty boy). Sometimes my mother, who could not live for 9 months without chocolate, really gives birth to a girl. But this is just a coincidence and to look for a regularity here is meaningless. In addition, modern professionals have a more logical explanation of the taste preferences of the future mother and useful products for the female body.
Do I trust my desires?
Nature has thought it through and provided: she supplied the pregnant woman with some kind of food intuition. Of course, the work of this sixth sense helps and hormones, the level of which increases during waiting for crumbs. Progesterone determines what substances in the body are normal and which ones are in short supply, and builds a special program to fill the shortage, causing the desire to eat something specific. So it turns out that your "whims" regarding the menu are justified. After all, they are directly related to those useful products for the female body, which contain the missing minerals, vitamins (they are taken away by the child). There was a desire to taste something completely inedible (for example, chalk, clay)? There is also a reason for this. It will help to find an experienced specialist. Hematologists (doctors involved in the diagnosis and treatment of blood diseases and hemopoiesis) explain this by both the lack of a specific substance in the body (in this case calcium) and the decrease in the iron content in the blood. Surely you have low hemoglobin. You will raise it - and your strange desires will disappear! You've never had a bow and garlic before, but now you really wanted to? A therapist with experience would assume that here too it is not just a matter of missing substances. Probably the reason for impending respiratory illness. From it the body tries to "fight off" with the help of phytoncides. So what does it lead to, you can blindly follow your food instincts? Of course, listen to them, but be reasonable!
