Weird pregnancy cravings! Weird pregnancy cravings are caused by a mix of hormonal changes, nutritional needs, and heightened senses. Pregnancy hormones can amplify taste and smell, making certain foods irresistible (or disgusting). Some cravings may signal nutrient deficiencies, like wanting red meat for iron or dairy for calcium. Others are just the body’s way of seeking comfort or managing nausea—even if that means dipping pickles in peanut butter! But what about DISH SOAP! (see the TIKTOK BELOW)
“My pregnant wife just sent me out at midnight for pickles and ice cream… to dip in hot sauce. Pray for me.”
“She craved chalk, so now I’m hiding the sidewalk art from the neighborhood kids before she mistakes it for a snack.”
“Pregnancy cravings are wild—last night, she wanted peanut butter on a steak, and now I’m questioning everything I know about food.”
But Dish soap?!?!? At first we thought she may be drinking it as she was holding a glass of ice and soap, but in the end, it was something completely different.
