Minnie Driver talks pregnancy quirks
July 3, 2008
Actress Minnie Driver walks her bump - and her dog- after enjoying lunch with a friend. The mom-to-be is sporting the “it” shoe for moms-to-be: the gladiator sandal. Driver, who is expecting her first child next month, recently spoke about her “green” cravings.
“I had a dream and they told me in the dream that her (baby) favorite color is green. Maybe that’s why I like green food so much. Green apples are my obsession and cucumber and snap peas, all green foods. It’s weird. I really haven’t had this huge appetite. There’s no room to eat tons of stuff. I was ready for having this massive appetite that I heard about but it just never kicked in. I’m really quite lucky.”
She mentions her “bionic sense of smell” as another pregnancy quirk she is getting used to. “I have a bionic sense of smell that’s hardcore. Everything becomes overpowering like aftershave, perfume, and scented candles. I’m happy the nausea finally went away; that was the worst part, the sickness and the throwing up to begin with was wretched. Otherwise it’s been very peaceful.”
Are there any weird smells that seem to turn you off while you are pregnant? I remember the smell of toothpaste would always make me queasy.

Got something to say?
