Alyssa Milano is craving broccoli

Alyssa Milano has been craving broccoli since she got pregnant.

The 'Charmed' actress announced this week she and her Hollywood agent husband David Bugliari are expecting their first child together, and she has now revealed she has developed a hunger for the green vegetable.

Speaking at the Los Angeles premiere of her new comedy movie 'Hall Pass' last night (23.02.11), she said: "I can't even consider it a craving because it's so odd. But I can't get enough broccoli!"

Since she got pregnant, Alyssa - who is planning to find out the sex of her baby - has been spending more time with her parents because she wants all their baby knowledge before the birth.

She explained: "As soon as I got pregnant I just didn't want to leave my mother's side. The amount of time I've spent with my parents since I've been pregnant is a lot. I think it's because I want to soak up their brains."

The 38-year-old star is pleased to be through the first three months of her term because she was paranoid when she first discovered she was expecting that something could go wrong.

She told 'E!': "I was very happy to be out of my first trimester. I think that's the scariest time because you always have it in the back of your head that you could miscarriage at any point. I would say that was my scariest time."
