Some pregnant women crave fruit or chocolate. My wife ate a whole rack of ribs. It was like watching a starving lion tear through a gazelle.

I have the overwhelming urge to make a beautiful angel hair pasta dish with garlic butter shrimp.

With pregnancy, the more unavailable… the stronger the cravings.
