Why THIS craving?
In this pregnancy i have craved different things - nothing abnormal though - normal food stuffs.
The last few days i have been craving beer. I wasn't a big drinker before i got pregnant, and i certainly never drank beer. I've always hated the stuff - always. And yet here i am at 30wk craving beer. Insane right?
Now, obviously i'm not going to indulge in drinking one but i was wondering if anyone knew what i could be lacking to make me crave beer. I know certain cravings can be caused by low iron levels or low calcium levels or whatever ... but i can't figure out what it is that beer might represent?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Answer:
Hey, if you are craving beer, talk to your doctor, I turned 21 while I was pregnant and they allowed me to have Non-alcoholic beer...taste the same kill two birds with one stone...no harm to baby and you fulfill your craving
maybe your yeast levels are off?
It's possible. I've craved to smell beer and gasoline before in previous pregnancies. Be sure not to fall victim to these silly cravings.
I really liked to smell my husbands beer when I was pregnant. I don't know if it would be a nutritional deficit causing it--too little barley in your diet maybe?
Theres mainly yeast in beer, but you can eat bread, or pasta to catch up on your yeast. Sounds like you crave the taste, maybe find some non-alcoholic beer, to see if that curbs your craving. Make sure it's safe to drink though, not sure whats in Non-alcoholic beer. Just my opinion, and good luck:)
i know what you mean i crave wine and i drink wine once a year lol.
While most pregnant women experience cravings of food, there are also some pregnant women that have really odd cravings. If you are having odd cravings for things that should not be consumed, you must not give in. This is something that you should discuss with your doctor. Having cravings for things that are not normally eaten is actually more common during pregnancy than you think. There have been reports and studies of pregnant women wanting to eat sand because it looked so delicious, a cigarette ashtray smelling good, and many others. If you are pregnant and experiencing these odd cravings, this is perfectly normal. Just do not give in and eat sand or anything else that you should not be eating. Talk to you doctor about these odd cravings that you are having while you are pregnant, he may be able to explain them to you.
