What great information! I didn't know about leptin! I never had much of a craving during pregnancy, did you? I think I wanted crab at one time with my first pregnancy but we were too poor to buy that then. Lol.
Comments:
because it is hormonal related (hormonally)
It is important thought not (either "an important thought" or maybe you meant "though" not "thought"?)

    Thank you so much, Helene for reviewing and your great comments. I will fix those things in a moment. Me, I really didn't have cravings for either but I definitely had aromas that turned me- my first, it was coffee and my second, it was cooking bacon. Now I love both, lol. Hugs n smiles!

    Interesting! For me in my second, it was the smell of Ivory soap. Must be the oils that affect us. 💕

    That is true, I do believe it must be the oils, thank goodness we are done with that. 💞

The intriguing thing about this story is how you use the lulls in the plot development to handle questions from the class and, as a result all kinds of interesting biological information comes our way, and we learn these things without realising. This might not be everybody's cup of tea but it suits me.

    I am so glad you are enjoying it, when I started out I had the idea to do something purely educational but at a level that in general readers would understand it. I tend to write notes in advance and I really felt it would be bland so I added to it and juiced it up (that is according to a young kid that reads a chapter now and then lol. Thank you so much for reviewing.

Bless your sweet heart. You wrote a story on food cravings because I asked you to. That is so kind. I hope you did not have to do a lot of extra research on my behalf. I read every word of it twice. When I crave something, I usually try to satisfy it. I will try the five minute rule instead. See if that helps. Once again. Thank you for this. Glad that I did not miss it.

    Thank you for reviewing and for your kind comments. I didn't need to do any extra research, because I had some notes from when I gave a talk about cravings, so it was a matter of finding them and putting the chapter together. I figured if I didn't see a review from you in a week I would send you a message to read that chapter. Oh and the five minute rule really works although I have had a couple of people who needed ten minutes instead. Good luck.

    I might need fifteen. Thanks again.

Hello, another great chapter. You covered quite a lot in this class! It sounds like they asked some great questions and learned quite a bit. I always thought the whole pregnancy and birthing process was gross, but also amazing.

    LOL, you are not the only one my friend, even some of the labor and delivery nurses felt that way. I haven't delivered many but it sure was messy but so rewarding. Thanks for reviewing.
