Some weird things I did when I was pregnant
- I only ate sausages from Walkers restaurant – to be precise the one in town, reinsurance plaza, so when I needed a sausage my hubby would hide under the seat.
- With Kendi- I loved Java food, It is expensive I know, but I would beg my hubby for just a meal there!, even if it is once a fortnight!
- With Tana, even the mention of the word Java would nauseate me- I used to eat Ethiopian food that is what I loved, so I lived in Habesha!
- I never ate chicken when I was pregnant, I just couldn't stand it and have never liked it much ever since, especially when it stewed…
- I feel in love with Mandazi and Chapati when I was pregnant with all the three and to date, when I log into a hotel, they better have mandazi, and if it is lunch, the stew is accompanied by Chapati. When I find you cooking chapati in your house, be sure I will borrow if you are not offering….blame it all on motherhood!
- When I was pregnant with Kendi, at one time I did mobilized my hubby, Alex and his wife to be, Sylvia to take me to Pizza garden, Westlands at 10pm, because I wanted Pizza from Pizza garden, you would have thought they grow them there. After we ordered and it was served at the table, I could not even eat a bite, I got nauseated, and they almost strangled me-put me in a taxi and sent me back home!
- With Mnara, I ate ugali and Maziwa Mala (sour Milk) almost every day! In mean, both Lunch and Dinner!
I once asked my Mum how it was for her, when she was pregnant and she made my day! She told me she hated the sight of BLACK shoes…this would send her throwing up!
I think when we are pregnant, our husbands have a hard time understanding us…but neither do we understand ourselves…so really!!!!!
Let me hear your story and have an awesome weekend.
1. I could not stand the smell of goat meat but I enjoy it much.
ReplyDelete2. I had craving for pizza twice.
3. I ate lots of Tropical Heat Masala Flavoured Crisps through out.
4. Took lots of yoghurt and UHT milk. Many older women threatened that I would give birth to a very big baby but that was a myth.
For real, I trully enjoyed being pregnant and thanked God for carrying me through it safely. The only downer was that I became as black as that shoe your mum couldn't stand. Think it left me traumatized for round 2, but Samara came out as brown as ever hence why I do not appear in the initial baby pictures until I regained my complexion.I feared to be asked" Mama umeiba mtoto wa nani?
When I got pregnant, I was so looking forward to some odd cravings like so many others had told me about. But, I only craved soup from one of my favorite Italian restaurant, which happens to also be a favorite of my husband's so he was always more than happy to make a 10:00 PM run for soup! And seven years later - that remains one of my husband's favorite soups and a regular craving of his!
