The most important thing to do when it comes to keeping your pregnancy cravings happy is to make sure you choose healthy options that are close to the unhealthy foods you want to get stuck into!

This is actually really easy. If you're desperate for really salty and sweet food, just add them in small amounts to a normal diet that is nutritionally balanced. Leaving you to tuck in with a peaceful mind.

Here are some healthy alternatives to pregnancy cravings that we've rustled up

Ice cream

Opt for low-fat frozen yogurt. You can get this from all large supermarkets and it comes in lots of great flavours, which will meet your calcium needs without the added calorie count.

Chocolate

Swap a chunk of dairy milk for a non-fat chocolate syrup drizzled on top of some fresh fruit.

Salty snacks

Opt for salted popcorn or Italian breadsticks with low-fat houmous.

Eat breakfast!

Making sure you have a healthy breakfast such as porridge and herbal tea can cut your cravings by up to 50%.
