severe carrot craving

So for more than a month I have had these severe carrot cravings and I'm eating at least a 1lb bag of carrots a day. I feel like I have to have them!! Its driving me nuts. Now it is starting withettuce but I don't have to have th lettuce but I must have carrots every single day. Why?!?!?! And before being pregnant I hated carrots. Also I am wanting them just plain raw baby carrots no dip or anything.

Carotene converts into Vitamin A, and that strengthens your immune system.  If you don't want to be craving carrots as much, try taking a little extra vitamin A and see if that eases your cravings.

As long as you are taking your prenatals, I wouldn't worry about it.  There is such a thing as eating so many carrots that your skin becomes bright orange, but it doesn't sound like you are in that league.
