I wasn't supposed to be able to have children. Imagine my surprise when I spent the summer of 2002 "not feeling quite right", but still playing heavily competitive softball, working as a firefighter (exposed to "interesting" chemicals/smoke), and smoking/drinking as my usual habits. My husband insisted I go to the doctor because I was always tired. Imagine my shock to discover I was 15 weeks along. So the doc says, hey, it's your pregnancy, enjoy it. So I did. I ate everything I wanted to, gaining about 60-70 lbs. Had a very easy pregnancy, c section delivery, and have a beautiful baby boy.
I craved steamed green beans like you wouldn't believe. I also craved Ruffles plain chips and dill pickle dip. It was GREAT. Took a while to lose the weight, but I truly enjoyed pregnancy. Oh, I also detested the smell of cooking pork. I couldn't have it near me.
