- [Hannah] So, you know how sometimes when someone's
having a baby they crave weird foods?
- Yeah, okay.
- You're gonna eat all the weird ones I crave.
(upbeat music)
Oh, mm, did you like it?
(laughing)
Hi, I'm Hannah, I'm The World's OK-est Mom,
and I am very pregnant.
And along with pregnancy comes good old pregnancy cravings,
the good, the bad, and the ugly.
And in an attempt to participate a little bit more
in my pregnancy, my family asked to try all
of my pregnancy cravings with me.
We did it, it's done, we tried it, and here's how it went.
First, the rules.
What we ended up doing was tracking all
of my pregnancy cravings for an entire month.
And each time a craving struck,
my family would share it with me.
And it ended up being seven cravings total.
I don't fully know why people get pregnancy cravings.
I think that sometimes it can indicate an underlying issue,
sometimes it can indicate a vitamin deficiency.
Often times, it's literally for no reason
and makes no sense.
I know that sometimes the surplus of hormones
can change the way things taste.
But honestly some of the things I've craved,
there's no good (laughs) reason for it.
Now this was on a voluntary basis.
I did not want anyone to suffer permanent trauma
from having to try something so disgusting.
It was up to the kids if they wanted to try it.
But my husband had no choice.
Because if I'm pregnant, he's pregnant.
And if I'm in pain, he's in pain.
And if I'm craving something, he's craving something, too.
If I have to do this, he has to suffer a little bit.
(laughs)
All right, day one of pregnancy cravings.
I'm actually really excited for this one.
So, little bit of backstory,
I was at the grocery store and I saw this like,
canned cheese and at the time it sounded amazing.
I've noticed this is a recurring thing
with all of my pregnancies.
And it's craving foods that I haven't actually tried.
Like, I'll see a commercial
and have a thought of how it tastes.
And usually it's very satisfying.
But it's this ongoing thing of me craving something
that I don't actually know how it tastes.
Today the mood just struck me
and it sounded amazing and I realized I have it.
Because I bought it a while ago.
Early pregnant Hannah's thinking about late pregnant Hannah.
(laughs)
This is gonna be the first thing that the kids try,
they've never tasted this in their life.
I've never tasted this in my life.
I just remember it from "A Goofy Movie"
and it looked delicious, so we're going with it.
I did not feel like I wanted it on a cracker.
I wanted it on something else kind of salty
or like cold, if that makes sense.
Hey, boys, I have a surprise for you.
When I brought out the spray cheese,
the kids were actually really excited to try it.
(cheering)
So, you know how sometimes when someone's having a baby,
they crave weird foods?
- Yeah, okay.
- [Hannah] You're gonna eat all the weird ones I crave.
So this first course, wait, let's all cheers.
This first course is--
- This one's weird.
- [Hannah] Olives and tomatoes with spray cheese.
- Okay.
- [Hannah] Ready, hold on, come here.
Cheers!
- Cheers. - Cheers, I guess.
(gentle upbeat music)
- Wait, look at me, what'd you think?
(laughing)
You'd think I poisoned them.
Honestly, they're so dramatic, it wasn't that bad.
Babies.
- It tastes like dog food!
(laughing)
- It has cheese, I liked the cheese!
- [Hannah] You don't like the cheese, all right, let's see.
- [Jackson] The only thing I like is the cheese.
- Let's see how this tastes.
Mm!
Oh, man!
Oh, that is good!
Mm!
Come here with that cheese.
- [Jackson] That cheese.
- Let me try a tomato.
- [Jackson] But my cheese tastes so good.
- Mm!
So once my kids got over the trauma
of having to try it on an olive,
which, again, didn't think it was a big deal.
They wanted to give it a second chance
and asked me to spray it directly in their mouths.
This stuff is the business.
- [Wyatt] It has some kick.
- Oh man, oh, that is so good!
It's eight in the morning
and I am craving refried beans, cheese, and jalapenos.
I'm gonna make a birthday, birthday?
Oh my God, what's wrong with me?
I have such bad pregnancy brain.
Today, I have for you chocolate pumpkin pancakes,
(cheering)
refried beans and cheese.
(giggling)
So this is what I felt like eating this morning.
(yelling)
I did not make my children eat any jalapenos,
I am not that mean.
Give it a try.
- [Jackson] Mama, look at.
- [Hannah] Do you like it?
- Mama, look at, a bean cake.
- [Hannah] Oh wow, together!
Jackson, are you pregnant? (laughs)
Matt has to eat some jalapenos.
You have about a third as many as (gasps)
you're cutting it in half?
- Hey, my stomach can't take it.
Especially in the morning.
- [Hannah] Mine can't either but I need it!
- No, you love it.
You can eat a whole can of 'em.
- [Hannah] How is it?
- Good.
(laughing)
- Yes, let's get two jalapenos on there.
Mm!
That was a win.
You have a little bite of sweet,
you have a little bite of savory, you get a little spicy.
See, not every craving is disgusting.
Okay, it is me, back with another craving.
It just hit as we were walking out the door.
I am craving french fries and mayonnaise.
Basically, during my pregnancy, I traveled to Europe twice.
And in Europe, I noticed especially in the Netherlands,
there are a lot of french fry spots.
And the condiment that everybody uses
to dip their french fries in is mayonnaise.
I think it'll be good.
I don't think anybody will mind this craving.
Very excited.
I didn't know what to expect,
all I know is it looked really nice.
(gentle upbeat music)
What do you think?
- Kind of good.
- [Hannah] Kind of good?
Hey, Jackson!
- [Jackson] What?
- [Hannah] Come try this!
Okay, give it a try.
- [Matt] Rosie.
- [Hannah] You don't like it?
- I'll eat that, for sure.
- [Hannah] It sounds good, right?
- That's pretty good.
- It's really good.
Mm!
That was a good idea.
And I'm proud of myself.
This is just what I wanted.
There's nothing better than craving something
and like wanting a taste of something
and then you achieve it.
Moving on to craving number four.
This was a fun one.
I wanted some pizza.
So I got some pizza, the kids are super stoked,
but there's a catch.
I looked in the fridge when I was going to make,
like, some veggies, chopped veggies or salad.
(yelling)
Excuse me, can I finish?
- [Jackson] Can I finish?
- Can I finish please!
(laughing)
- I craved pizza topped with sauerkraut.
Now let me explain.
The way that a lot of cravings come to be
is I'll be holding a food and looking at another
and be like, huh, okay.
I will defend this until the day I die.
Sauerkraut is tangy, it is crunchy, it is nice and cold.
And it's just, it's a great texture to pair along
with something soft like pizza.
Maybe I will watch this back when I'm not pregnant
and be like, "What happened to me?" (laughs)
Are you excited to try it?
(grunting)
- [Hannah] Are you excited to try it, Wyatt?
- No.
- [Hannah] No?
Oh wait, look who doesn't have his.
Oh, we better (sighs).
- I'm waiting for them to try it first.
- [Hannah] This growing boy needs his pizza.
- His 'kraut.
- [Hannah] Oh, let's get extra for the big guy, okay?
Here you go, don't even worry about it.
You're gonna love it.
All right, who goes first?
- [Jackson] Me!
- [Hannah] M'kay, do it honey.
(gagging)
How's it taste?
- Terrible.
- The general consensus was extremely negative.
Like, extremely negative.
Like, a little bit harsh and mean, I'm gonna be honest.
(gagging) (laughing)
You just copied your brother!
What do you think?
- I don't like it.
- [Hannah] You don't like it.
Okay, let's get a real adult's opinion here.
Tell me it's not so bad.
Matt's a guy who's very much like,
"If it's food, I'll eat it."
- Mm.
I love sauerkraut, though, that's the thing.
- Let's get a real verdict on this.
(gentle upbeat music)
Mm!
Oh, this is good!
It's tangy.
Oh, I will eat this even when I'm not pregnant.
I feel like no one will be able
to look at me the same after this whole experience.
You are really getting the Hannah uncensored, right now.
(laughs)
It's a new day, I got new hair, and I got a new craving.
Look at how big I've gotten.
That guy is pretty hungry right now,
and you know what he wants? (laughs)
He wants potato chips
with cottage cheese scooped up into them.
Okay, Wyatt, first up.
Get you a good scoop.
Oh, snap.
Okay wait, open your mouth so we don't spill.
(gentle upbeat music)
(crunching)
Oh, is that a thumbs up?
Do you like it?
Wyatt loves cottage cheese and he loves chips.
This is actually something I will probably continue
to feed Wyatt.
Because we all know how picky he can be.
Wow!
This is a surprise, to say the least.
If he thinks it's fun dipping a chip in it,
go forth and have fun.
All right.
Hold on, let me get a nice scoop for ya.
Jackson, fun fact, he hates cottage cheese.
(crunching)
(laughing)
I'm surprised I even got him to take a bite.
(crinkling) (laughing)
(crunching)
- Mm, so good.
- You like it?
All right, now it's my turn.
I've been waiting all day for this. (sighs)
I love me some cottage cheese, I love me some potato chips.
(crunching)
This is a masterpiece!
You thought the cravings were getting normal, didn't you?
Nope, you were wrong.
Because craving number six, (laughs)
I don't even wanna say it! (laughs)
So here, I have an apple.
Simple, apple, not bad.
But what am I gonna do with this apple,
I'm sure you're wondering.
Well, I tell you what.
I'm gonna dip it in ranch dressing.
(squelching)
I just wanted to see what would happen, you know?
Never wanted to hurt anybody,
never wanted to do any harm.
I just wanted to see what would happen
if I dipped an apple in some ranch. (laughs)
Get a nice big scoop of ranch on there.
(crunching) (growling)
Do you like it?
(laughing)
Okay, Jackson, you try it.
Oh gosh, you got a lot of ranch.
(crunching) (gasping)
(laughing)
Give it a chance, Jackson.
(screeching)
Are you serious?
(laughing)
It's not something that should happen.
And I think it was very unnatural, but I didn't mind it.
(crunching)
This is fine.
(crunching)
- [Wyatt] Double dipper.
- It's like a salad.
- I think I've actually tried this before.
- You have?
(crunching)
(sighing)
(laughing)
I felt very judged, unnecessarily by my family,
when I made it.
I didn't think they were being fair.
There, I said it.
Tonight's craving is being cooked as we speak.
Oh, dear!
Got a little something in the oven.
Got a little something in the pot.
You've heard of spaghetti tacos.
You know that my family eats them.
We love our spaghetti tacos.
We love our spaghetti,
we love eating it in different shapes and forms.
And so, it just struck me one day during this pregnancy.
We've had spaghetti so many different ways
but we've never had it sandwiched
between two pieces of garlic bread.
(imitates explosion) (booming)
Look at this masterpiece!
(gentle upbeat music)
Oh, spaghetti garlic bread sandwich. (laughs)
Thinking about it right now makes me wanna cry.
It's so good!
(crunching)
(sighing)
(laughing)
It's good, huh?
I mean, this was the biggest Mom win
I've had in a very long time. (laughs)
- Mm mm! (laughing)
- [Hannah] You like it?
- Mm hm. (laughing)
- [Hannah] Oh yeah, nice.
- This bread is good.
- Mm. (laughing)
It's so good.
- Since we've tried it, the kids have continued
to ask for it almost daily.
Because it is that delicious.
Oh no, okay.
(crunching)
Mm, oh, that is good!
- All of us like it!
- All of us like it.
- Mm. - Mm.
- I love it, I love it.
- [Matt] You love it, Wyatt?
- Mm hm.
- [Matt] All right, success!
- I am one happy pregnant lady right now. (laughs)
Now, this started out as kind of just a funny experiment.
But what I realized it did, ultimately,
was it involved my kids in my pregnancy, which,
because it's something so personal
that's happening just to me,
I forget that the kids wanna be a part of what's happening
with their baby brother.
And it's not just when he's born.
They wanna be a part of the pregnancy
and included in this time.
And they had a really good time.
So I would highly recommend trying this.
Just maybe don't eat canned spray cheese on olives.
(laughing)
So that's all I got for today.
I'm Hannah and if you've been pregnant
and had any weird cravings, leave those in the comments.
I wanna see everyone else's cravings.
Or if you know anyone who had any weird pregnancy cravings,
let me know in the comments as well.
Now, if you'll please excuse me,
I have to satisfy my current craving right now,
which is straight up whipped cream.
'Til next time!
Oh, this is hard.
(can hissing)
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Apples and ranch!
- [Hannah] You wanna try it?
- Yeah.
