Old Wives Tale...
Recently i have this craving for tomatoes! Actually all along i love tomatoes..especially the smaller ones but these few months, they're like my basic snack! I would pack about 10 small cherry tomatoes into a little snack box and bring them around. Whenever I feel like throwing up, i'll pop 1 into my mouth and it works wonders! Honey calls the box "life saving box"!
Many people has been telling me that Tomatoes, carrots, gingers, curry will cause Jaundice in babies. I got so worried because they're like my favourite food! ofcourse everything must be done in moderation.
I did some readings on Jaundice and actually its caused by the breaking down of our red blood cells in our bodies. Our liver has to clear all the dead cells on time else they accumulate the yellow dead cells which causes Jaundice. It HAS NOTHING to do with carrots and tomatoes though carrots do cause some skin discoloration if taken excessively.
I read several pregnancy forums and guess what, i'm not alone! Many women do crave for tomatoes too and they help them get rid of the vomittey feeling and prevents iron deficiency anemic. Oh well... i love TOMATOES!

Oh yes.. I did read somewhere too that if you are craving a certain food, it means you are lacking in their vitamin or nutrition. It's your body's way of getting you to take in more of that nutrient for your baby. Since tomatoes are alright, keep taking them bah! But still everything in moderation hor.. :D
