Pregnancy Cravings
-
The choice of variety of food is very natural and common part of pregnancy. Pregnancy cravings are a little strange too. And also, this is the time when you can eat anything to satisfy your food cravings.
I have to say that my first pregnancy cravings have not been too strange and weird. Morning sickness was not the problem of mine. I loved to eat anything. I have to admit, my pregnancy hormones are making me easier.
In majority, pregnant women have the strong desire for sour delicacies, all they wanted is sour with their foods. To satisfy the cravings; by eating pickles, sour candies and salads may help.
I did have major cravings of sour, like unripe mango from the Philippines. But, how can I get those green mangoes when I was not there? Though, pickles are very common substitute but, I don’t like the taste.
I did experienced eating apple and carrots with salt & vinegar on it, imagining that I am eating green mango.
Ultimately, my second pregnancy is that I am in the Philippines. What I got now is the real sour green mangoes at the backyard of my sister’s house.

@ GHEE:
Sorry ka nalang Ghee, just keep on drooling. Gusto mo aakyat ako sa puno? Grabe, preskong presko at crunchy pa…sarap talaga Ghee, parang nasa heaven ako! Ha-ha-ha
@ SASHA:
Hindi ako pihikan sa food, kahit ano kinakain ko Sasha, no wonder mas tataba ako pag mabuntis. First trimester palang, magana na ang apetite ko. How much more up to nine months akong ganito…super taba ko na talaga, hahaha.

reminds me of my hometown where we can ask a friendly neighbour who has the mango tree for unripe mangos…
funny though i’ve never liked unripe mango, not even when i was pregnant (which is good because there’s not many unripe mangos around here either.. my cravings was peanut butter sandwhich :p
good on you Raqual, satisfy your cravings.. you deserve it!

I like the thought of “real sour” green mango. Nothing like it!

Naranasan ko maglihi ng hindi makain yung gustong pagkain dahil wala, ang hirap. Puro substitute lang ako ng available dito pero di ako nasatisfied. Ganda nga ng timing ng pagbubuntis mo dyan. Ingat lagi.

When I was preggy to I craved for green mangoes too and I can buy it in the chinese store it’s quite expensive for a piece! Anyhow, nakain ko naman sya! Don’t you have chinese store there Raquel? Or in substitution, I eat big green apple with salt and likewise I imagine myself eating a green mango!

Talking about these stuff makes me crave for sour things too. Is it true that some males also crave something when their wives are pregnant ? I heard some stories about it

So? I could always plant them in a glass house! We got plenty of those in Holland. And besides, with the actual climate changes it is just a matter of time before Holland is a subtropical paradise as well!

@ ANA PS:
Nothing in particular Ana, pero kining aslum jud, like green mango, lami jud kaayo para sa ako. Kusog ko mo kaon diri, wala koy pili sa mga food oi.
Maski unsay sawsawan akong gusto. Hahaha, funny

@ GHEE:
Ay ok lang ah, I undestand. I corrected my name kase may kapareho akong name dito, ang sa kanya may”C”.
@ HAZE:
Malayo samim Haze ang Filipino Store. Nuong pagbuntis ko kay Maria, di pa ako marunong mag drive, limited lang ang mga lakad ko. Nahihiya pa ako kay hubby nuon dahil newly wed pa lang eh. Tilapia nalang ang substitute ko sa bangus para paksiwin
@ CHASE:
Hehehe, ingon pa nila Chase na lakaran kuno para mo balhin daw ang sa bana ang paglilihi. Chaaar, ewan kung anong connection.
@ TOTO:
WOW! I think the mango seedlings you have in Holland is different. Mango tree in the Philippines grows in a hot weather and it takes time to culture the tree.
As what you’ve said, “it is just a matter of time”, meaning you can grow the tree for only just a short period of time?
@ MOUSEY:
Asos, totoo ba yan, hehehe.
Happy Easter too Mousey! Nakabalik ka na pala from a long vacation ha.
@ SASHA:

The mother of my 4 kids did have 4 different eating/drinking priorerties during her pregnancies. The “must haves” were very different – from dark, non-alcoholic beer to sweets.
Thanks for your preg updates.
It seems to develop very well

I do hear a lot of pregnant women craving for sour food. My mom actually didn’t. When she had my Kuya, she’d crave for fruits. When she had me, ulam naman. Haha.
It’s great that you can easily have what you crave for now that you’re in the Philippines. Gawd, I miss green mangoes. *slurpslurp*
