Pregnant women often feel the urge to eat unusual foods, and celebrities are no different to us mere mortals. Here are 15 of the strangest pregnancy cravings they have had:

1. Serena Williams: Zucchini, Asparagus and Artichoke

2. Carrie Underwood: Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts tend to provoke strong reactions in people – they either love or hate them. Carrie Underwood loved them when she was pregnant with her second child, and she preferred them raw.

When Teigen was pregnant with her second child, she was seen carrying 50 doughnuts proudly in public.

6. Blake Lively: Dark Chocolate

Blake Lively had cravings for sweet and salty foods during her last pregnancy, but that’s no surprise as she has admitted she has a sweet tooth anyway. She had a craving for dark chocolate, as long as it wasn’t too sweet.
