My girlfriend and I were recently reminiscing about our pregnancies -- our pregnant cravings to be exact.  I recalled sending my poor husband out late one night in the middle of December with a warning, "Don't come back without fresh blueberries."  I was about six months into my first pregnancy at the time.  Later on in that same pregnancy, refried beans from Taco Bell became my chronic craving...never mind I normally hated them when the cells in my body weren't being invaded by aliens.  In fact, it was also my first pregnancy that turned me into a vegetarian, until eight years later when I became pregnant with my third and final child, and I craved juicy, medium-rare cheeseburgers  -- the offical ending of my vegetarian ways.

 

Did you know that the old cliche that pregnant women crave pickles is based in fact?  Supposedly 75% of mommies, including femme fatale Halle Berry, crave the salty snacks when they are with child.  I found that delectable tidbit, along with the following star-studded cravings, while surfing the web.

 

Tori Spelling:  Rocky Road ice cream and avocado (I hope not together!)

Gwyneth Paltrow:  Mexican food and pizza

Victoria Beckham:  smoked salmon (Even her cravings are posh!)

Angelina Jolie:  mustard-smothered onion rings

Madonna:  poached eggs
