On May 9, Hailey Bieber and her husband, Justin Bieber, announced that they are expecting their first child together.
Since revealing their best kept secret with the public, Hailey has shared several moments of the first months of her pregnancy with her social media followers.
And now, she’s asking her fans not to judge.
On May 15, Hailey took to her Instagram Story to share one of her pregnancy cravings. “Currently her biggest craving,” she admitted.
“Egg salad on top of a pickle with hot sauce,” Hailey Bieber explained, before telling her followers, “and no you’re not allowed to judge!”
While the exact reason why some expectant mothers experience food cravings is still known, there are some theories.
According to Northwestern Medicine, the cause of pregnancy cravings “is not quite clear, some theories suggest pregnancy hormones can heighten sense of smell and taste, creating both cravings and aversions.”
As the source continues, “other theories suggest that it’s the body’s way of compensating for deficiencies – craving ice cream when you need calcium, fruit for vitamin D and so on.”
After skipping the Met Gala on May 6, Hailey, who is usually a staple at the event, remained quiet about her absence. That is until three days later.
Both Justin and Hailey shared the same video announcing the big news with the world.
Millions of people jumped at the chance to like the announcement with hundreds of thousands sharing their congratulations in the comments.
