Whatever happened to the whole "eating for two" thing being ok during pregnancy? Because it seems like it's sort of a faux-pas to chow down while you're expecting these days, and that's just no fun at all.

Of course, I guess the whole over-indulgence thing can catch up with you eventually, resulting in you gaining an obscene amount of weight by your ninth month, and making it virtually impossible to easily take those pounds off after your baby arrives. In that regard, it's probably smart to try and stick to a healthier diet.

But the good news is that even if you do slip a bit and give in to your favorite food cravings during pregnancy, new research shows that pigging out won't have any effect on your baby's cognitive development or IQ. Basically, you're not going to make your baby stupid because you decided to have a few cupcakes. So you might as well just go for it.

Good grief. Isn't pregnancy the one time in your life when you are supposed to be able to chow down on all of your favorite foods without feeling the slightest bit of guilt? I mean -- it's no secret that you have to squeeze in healthy foods in addition to the junkier stuff just so you don't break the scale at the doctor's office, but shouldn't you at least get a little bit of a hall pass when it comes to indulging?

Apparently not. Because now there is new research that shows that what you eat during pregnant can affect your baby's eating habits. Isn't that just great?

Kourtney Kardashian totally sounds like she's got some major pregnancy cravings going on, and she isn't afraid to give into them one bit. Not that I can say that I blame her. I mean -- pregnancy is the one time in your life when you can really indulge in cravings and not worry about the number on the scale the next morning, right?

And as far as Kourtney's food cravings go, her sister Khloe recently said that she's got a hankering for things that are a bit on the spicy side, like queso dip. Mmm. I'm not even expecting and I could go for some queso dip right about now, so I can only imagine how appealing it must sound to a pregnant gal.

But all deliciousness aside, the fact that Kourtney is craving spicy foods might actually have a hidden meaning behind it.

Kristin Cavallari may be pregnant with her first child, but it's almost impossible to tell that she's expecting simply by looking at her. Take a closer look -- can you even spot a baby bump on this girl? She's just so tiny!

You'd think that her small frame would make it easier to see her bump, but Kristin really doesn't look much different than her days on The Hills. She's still thin, tan, blonde, and adorable. Lucky gal.

Even though she hasn't really "popped" quite yet, odds are good that Kristin will start showing fairly soon. And if a certain abnormal pregnancy craving she's having continues, then we will probably catch a glimpse of her growing belly in the very near future.

I love a good wacky pregnancy craving. Those who profess to crave only leafy greens and organic beets may be healthier, sure, but they're boring and kind of lame. Every pregnant woman needs to give into some crazy cravings once in awhile, but Jessica Simpson's cravings seem to be a bit too crazy.

She recently told Extra that she can't get enough of her favorite childhood foods. Things like Kraft Mac n' Cheese, Pop Tarts, and Cap'n Crunch. Fine, but then she went and dropped this doozy: "I had a buttered Pop Tart this morning," she said. 

Butter on a Pop Tart? Pickles and ice cream are one thing, but that just sounds awful. Pop Tarts and butter are each pretty tasty in their own right, but together, no thanks. No one, pregnant or not, should ever ingest such an abomination.

I know this makes me a shallow, bitter person, but I hate when celebrity moms talk about how their pregnancy cravings were for fresh papaya juice or arugula chips or whatever. "Oh, I just couldn't make it through the day without my artisan lettuce salad and goji smoothie!" Really, that's so weird, I had the exact same problem. I don't know what I would have done without my classically-trained fair-trade organic chef.Which is why I kind of love Jessica Simpson for being so unabashedly normal when it comes to confessing her favorite pregnancy snack. Instead of sticking to the health-food humblebrag, Simpson's description of her current number one craving put a smile on my face. I can't say I've ever considered downing a PB&J like a tequila shot before—but now that I've read about it, I kind of want to give it a try.

Yes, it's great for both the mama-to-be and baby if a woman's pregnancy cravings are more along the lines of broccoli and broiled chicken, but it's much more fun when they crave totally crazy things. I love to live vicariously through the amazing combinations pregnant women concoct and the vast amounts they ingest. And frankly, it's kind of disappointing when they don't. Beyonce's true pregnancy cravings are a big disappointment; in fact, they're downright boring.

In an interview with Katie Couric on 20/20 Friday, she talked about how she's really trying not to go overboard and pig out while pregnant. 

There are women like Jessica Simpson who crave healthy fruits and vegetables while pregnant -- cantaloupe in Jess's case -- and make us roll our eyes and want to hand them a pizza covered with pickles. Then there are women, like Alison Brierley, who craves roadkill ... and makes us want to vomit.

Yes, we're talking real-life roadkill -- animals trying to make it across the road, only to have their journey cut short by a speeding vehicle. Deer, pheasants, foxes, and owls are all fair game (no pun intended) for the 42-year-old Brierley, who not only craves roadkill, but actually eats it. She told Metro UK that while she's usually a pretty healthy eater, it's these critters that feed her cravings while she's with child.
