Quite unsmelly food is the best


Craving
Most women crave for what their bodies need 
 as salt , pickles , as they may help to increase blood volume
sour , lemon to decrease morning sickness
craving for healthy food is good
but pica for non food is dangerous
eating non food may harm your baby and stop you from eating healty food
