Hello, girls! I woke up at two in the morning with a terrible craving for something really spicy. Like noodles or Korean-style chicken. I know it's not advisable, and there's no time to cook at night, so I refrained. Is this craving for spicy food connected to something? Maybe a deficiency of some sort. During my first pregnancy, I really craved chocolate; in the second one, I didn't really crave anything and was very calm. This time, I'm dying for something spicy, I can't handle it??‍♀️ And I mean so spicy that it's almost like asking for a stomach ulcer, if I exaggerate ?

Hello! Your craving for spicy food may be linked to various factors, including physiological and psychological ones. Some people crave spicy food because of its stimulating effect on taste receptors and the release of endorphins. It can also be related to a deficiency in certain vitamins or minerals in the body. If you have developed such a strong craving for spicy food, it might be worth paying attention to your diet to ensure that it is diverse and balanced. Also, consider your emotional states and potential stresses that could be influencing your eating behavior. If you are concerned about your food preferences, it is advisable to consult a doctor or dietitian for advice and recommendations. Remember to take care of your health and eat right!

Hello. As for the shortage, I don't know. I had the same thing from week 20 to week 32; I wanted spicy Chinese noodles (red cup). I would come home from work, steep them, eat, and then go straight to bed.
