Internet shocked by woman’s pregnancy craving: ‘Unbelievable’

One common aspect of pregnancy that many women experience is cravings for certain foods. These cravings can range from fast food to more unusual items like lemons. Greteli de Swardt, a 23-year-old pregnant woman, recently went viral on Instagram for biting into a whole lemon, like one would an apple, showcasing an intense and unusually sour pregnancy craving. The video has been viewed almost 2 million times and has prompted other moms to share their own weird and wonderful food cravings during pregnancy. Some shared their experiences of craving lemons as well, with one stating that they would peel them like oranges and that it was a great feeling to eat them. Others were baffled by the sight of de Swardt eating the lemon whole, with many expressing their surprise in the comments.

Sarah Rueven, a New York-based registered dietitian, provided insight into why pregnant women often experience food cravings. One theory is that hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect taste, smell, and the body’s nutritional needs. Rueven compared this to women who crave chocolate during their period. Another theory is that cravings may help the body meet elevated nutrition needs during pregnancy, such as a craving for foods high in vitamin C like lemons. Rueven also mentioned that pregnant women may have strong cravings for foods high in calcium or iron. Additionally, food aversions and nausea, especially in the first trimester, can make certain foods more appealing than others. In the case of de Swardt biting into an entire lemon, it could be her body’s way of coping with the physical changes and demands of pregnancy.

While biting into a whole lemon may not be appetizing for everyone, for de Swardt and other pregnant women, it might provide relief from food aversions and nausea. Lemons are known to help remove unpleasant tastes from the mouth and decrease nausea, which could explain why she has such a strong desire to eat them. This insight from Rueven sheds light on the complex relationship between pregnancy cravings and the body’s nutritional needs during this transformative time. It also highlights the importance of listening to the body’s signals and finding ways to meet those needs, even if it means indulging in unusual food preferences.

Overall, the story of Greteli de Swardt biting into a whole lemon during pregnancy serves as a reminder of the unique and sometimes surprising experiences that women go through during this life-changing period. It also illustrates the significance of honoring cravings and finding ways to nourish the body in response to its changing demands. Pregnancy cravings, whether for traditional or unconventional foods, are a common phenomenon that highlights the intricate relationship between food, hormones, and the body’s needs during this transformative time. By understanding and listening to these cravings, women can better support their health and well-being during pregnancy.
