I am about 6 months pregnant and I’m trying really hard to control my cravings. It’s tough though, and I struggle with it daily. I try not to give in to my cravings all the time, but sometimes it’s really hard and in the end, I end up eating more of the other stuff then what I would have eaten had I just given in to my craving in the first place. Is it bad to try to ignore what I’m craving during pregnancy? Will it effect my baby? I try to come up with some healthier alternatives to the foods I am craving, since I usually crave things like donuts, and ice cream, and I know that’s not the healthiest of choices I could be making. So instead, I try to find fat-free ice cream, or some kind of cinnamon cookie instead of a donut, but I end up eating such a large quantity of it! Do cravings go away or do they last throughout an entire pregnancy?
