Seek support for cravings and aversions from "summary" of Eat This, Not That! When You're Expecting by Jennifer Ashton, MD,David Zinczenko

Cravings and aversions during pregnancy can be intense and unpredictable. It's essential to seek support during this time to navigate these changes effectively. Whether you're craving pickles and ice cream or can't stand the sight of certain foods, having a support system in place can make all the difference. Support can come in many forms. You may find it helpful to talk to other expectant mothers who are experiencing similar cravings and aversions. Sharing your feelings and experiences with others who understand can provide comfort and reassurance. Additionally, seeking guidance from a healthcare provider or nutritionist can help you make informed choices about your diet during pregnancy. It's important to remember that cravings and aversions are normal and can vary from woman to woman. Don't be too hard on yourself if you find yourself craving foods that are not typically considered healthy. Instead, focus on finding a balance that works for you and your baby. Having a support system in place can also help you cope with the emotional aspects of cravings and aversions. It's common to feel guilty or ashamed about your cravings or aversions, but talking to others can help you work through these feelings and develop a healthy mindset towards food.
