Why do pregnant women have food cravings?

I remember the time when a friend of mine was pregnant and they lived in a remote area in the US. She had a craving for Masala Dosa one morning when she was in her 6th month. Indian restaurants were not very common and she made her husband drive 120 miles to an Indian restaurant. This is just one story, there are plenty of such stories i hear about pregnant women craving from sweet dishes, hot and spicy to sour items. Some women also have a craving for non-food items like chalk, mud, wood etc. This is called Pica.

 This is the story of pregnancy from conception to the birth of a child. What does a pregnant woman experience in each week of her pregnancy, How is the growth of her baby in each week of her pregnancy? We will start with the first week of pregnancy. The conception has still not taken place in the first week of pregnancy. It is still the preparation for pregnancy.
