Ah – the joys of pregnancy! The anticipation of knowing you’ll soon meet your precious new baby girl or boy; that rosy mom-to-be glow; and of course, having an excuse to eat that extra scoop of ice cream! All jokes aside, pregnancy is one of the most amazing journeys of most women’s lives, marked with lots of new changes and, err…unexpected experiences along the way.

If you’ve ever been pregnant, there’s no doubt you have noticed a plethora of seemingly endless changes your body goes through. For me, one of the most bizarre is how you can be perfectly fine one minute, and the simple smell of an other-wise normal, non-offensive food can make you want to lose your lunch the next. I remember when I was pregnant with Emily I craved bananas, but then as soon as I started to eat one, I needed to spit it out and get it as far away from me as possible!

Come on now ladies – I know I’m not the only one! Was there a food or smell you just couldn’t stomach when you were pregnant? Maybe it was something you previously loved or something you never had any aversion to before. We’re curious what other “anti-cravings” moms out there had while they were expecting, so we’ve created a fun little contest to find out.

Our friends at Psi Bands have offered to give one lucky mama or mom-to-be a pair of their super cute acupressure wrist bands for nausea relief, just for sharing your pregnant culinary experiences with us.
