Four weeks left...& craving EVERYTHING!!

[Mommy2Be!]

I am due in four weeks and I have noticed that last couple of days that all I want is milk shakes and tacos. It is so hard to eat anything if I am not craving it. I just don't know why all of a sudden? Throughout my pregnancy I haven't had too many craving, but I have noticed it really getting worse right now....and It's almost over. Any advise? I don't want to just pig out in the last four weeks but I need some control.

Being pregnant twice. I figure if I want it eat it. However I am a smaller person and loosing the baby weight really wasn't an issue. (I know for other its not so easy) I gained 50 lbs with my first and 60 lbs with my second, grocery bills double, needless to say I was not deprived of food!

Being someone who was told by my little tapeworm to get crab cakes for lunch today, eat what you want! There's a reason you crave what you do, whether it's low iron (hence all the seafood I've been craving) or necessary antioxidants (ate strawberries/blueberries for a month straight). There's something you're not getting even if you take your vitamins. So give in to the cravings!
There's not much room in there, so it's a bit easier to not over-eat. Don't worry about the post baby weight. It'll come off as it needs to. Just break out the stroller and go.
Remember, your body is designed for this stuff.
