Three desires or nothing!
“For me, desires can be summed up in three things:
– The desire to no longer do housework: the vacuum cleaner has been sleeping since I was pregnant, and the dishes, Benjamin is the one who sticks to it. For the rest, I look forward to the famous 8th month household crisis.
– Food cravings for everything that is forbidden to me – oysters, foie gras, sushi… – which for me, correspond more to the nutritional needs demanded by my body. So I have already eaten oysters and sushi, and just now I bought a box of foie gras which will not stay in the refrigerator for long.
– Finally, I play a kind of online scrabble, quite long in duration, because it takes 19 minutes to draw a letter, to have 8 letters to place a scrabble and to reach 273 points. In short, a very long game, which fascinates me and makes me get up at night to finish my games. I, who usually make sure I get good quality sleep, is really new! “

Fruits, sex, sweets: desires for each quarter
“My desires as a pregnant woman have changed every trimester. During the first trimester, it was fresh vegetables and fruits. Rather healthy desires and which allowed me at the same time to facilitate my transit (in slow motion). For the second, it was about sexual impulses. Then a bulimia for all the sweets, the last few months. “

Pizza, dough and tomato sauce: a desire for Italy
“For my two pregnancies, I had food cravings for almost nine months. Pregnant with my first child, I had a real love for tomato sauce. Meals therefore came down to two kinds of dishes: pasta or pizza. And when I say meals, it was all: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. My husband hasn’t eaten tomato sauce since! For my second pregnancy, it was the Haribo crocs. I dare not imagine the number of kilos of crocs that I have swallowed up. “

A shrimp orgy in front of the supermarket
“I had no particular desire until the 6th month of my pregnancy. And there, suddenly, I dreamed of shrimps. I jumped in my car to the nearest supermarket to my house. The craziest thing is that I swallowed them up, barely checked out, on the hood of my car in front of the astonished glances of the customers of the store. Then I never had another frenzy for shrimp, or for any other food. “

A blue steak please!
” Red meat. I had only one obsession while I was expecting my daughter, it was eating red meat and preferably rare. The incongruity of this need is that I am a vegetarian and returned to that after my pregnancy. “
