Craving pork!!!

Lemon80 · August 2013

8 weeks prego and all I want is pork! Carnitas , bacon , ham and pork chops ! I want it All ! Is this bad ? Every where I read it just says as long as its cooked properly ...but is it going to cause any defects ?

Um, no. Eat your pork. If you are concerned try to find nitrate free. The salt, fat and cholesterol are more of a concern for you in the long run than any harm to your developing fetus.

That being said, my most recent pregnancy I ate prosciutto, hamburgers and bacon like it was my job. I tried to limit it as best I could, but it was the craving that wouldn't quit.

My son is fine.
