Karen Gillan has taken to social media to share her “weird” cravings as she prepares for the birth of her first baby.The Jumanji star posted on TikTok about the odd foods that she can’t get enough of while pregnant including Scottish favourites, which are harder to come by in America.She has spoken in the past about omissing Scottish foods after her acting career led to her move to the States.The actress revealed that she “can’t get enough” of eating raw vegetables as she approaches her due date.In a video captioned ‘I guess it’s good?

But weird’, Gillan said: “Anyone else have these pregnancy cravings of just raw vegetables?”Gillan, who found fame as Amelia ‘Amy’ Pond in Dr Who opposite the 11th Time Lord played by Matt Smith, takes a large bite out of a lemon, saying: “I just can’t get enough..”In a different video posted to TikTok last month, Gillan, 37, discussed her love of quiche.In the clip, posted to her 2.2 million followers, the Guardians of the Galaxy star said: “So, new pregnancy craving - quiche.“What the hell, I’ve never thought about quiche in my life.

I just ordered three different quiches because I need to find the best one now, so I’ll let you know how that goes.”Aside from raw veg and quiche, Gillan has also spoken publicly about her less niche cravings, sharing that digestive biscuits are now “all I can think about” despite having “never liked” the popular snack at any point during her “entire life”.Studies have shown that up to 90 per cent of pregnant women experience at least one food craving, most commonly during their first trimester.However, the scientific reasoning for pregnancy cravings remains unclear, with some theories suggesting that pregnancy hormones can heighten one’s sense of smell and
