1) Why do pregnant women feel the need to eat certain food, some of them extremelly weird (i.e. Mayo with chocolate) and what are the consequences if she does not eat what she feels the need to?

2) What is the chemical composition of vaginal fluid?

i believe the vaginal fluid composition varies from woman to woman depending on diet etc.

The consequences of a pregnant woman not sating her craving(s) are not significantly worse than if she wasn't pregnant. A flipout queen will flip out worse, and a chill girl will generally grumble and mutter but not much more.

Unless.

Unless... well.. let's just say you'd better not be the reason she can't get what she wants. This isn't a stereotype, either- this is basically a chemical thing that few people have the willpower to withstand. If a bad craving hits, you might as well be dealing with someone hooked on crack. It can get ugly. You will see a denied pregnant female do things you didn't think they were capable of. What they do is generally still related to the way they normally are, but I've seen a woman who was wonderfully nice and never, ever got angry go KABLAM at somebody who was dicking around instead of getting her something she wanted.

Well I'm 5 months pregnant so I'll give this a shot. Keep in mind I'm clueless so I am only offering my personal viewpoint, nothing scentific.

I haven't had the more bizarre cravings yet (pickles and ice-cream etc) but I understand that kicks in a bit later on.

As far as what brings on the cravings, usually your body craves what it needs, so it's a good idea to try and meet your cravings whenever possible. Why pregnancy causes these wierd combinations, I have no idea!

As far as the consequences of not meeting the cravings, well as I said usually your body craves the things it needs, so not filling the cravings can sometimes result in a deffiency of some sort.

The less nutritional consequences (consequences for you if you are the one not making it possible to meet the cravings) like Spiffy said, can vary depending on the girl.

I'm not a demanding person, so I don't get bitchy when there's a good reason for not being able to go out and buy what I'm craving... but you have no idea how powerfully compelling these cravings are, so it had better be a damn good reason or else.

And I have no clue what vaginal fluid is made up of.

THNX. Any other opinions???

Vaginal Fluid is made up of, well yeah..vaginal fluid. if your wondering the chemical composition i dont know, but it can taste or smell differently depending on what you eat. Like if you eat alot of fruit youll taste like fruit. At least i hear thats true..same goes for guys i think.

1) I believe women crave strange food-stuffs during pregnancy because the brain is telling them that the foetus needs a certain vitamin, mineral or other substance.

2) I should imagine it's the same as sweat or a bodily oil but with pheromones mixed in there giving it that smell.
