San Mateo County -- A 27-year-old pregnant San Mateo County woman is in jail accused of stabbing her boyfriend with a kitchen knife after the couple argued about her nutritional choices, authorities said.
The 18-year-old boyfriend, whom police have not identified, is being treated at a local hospital for stab wounds to his right lung and liver, said San Mateo County Deputy District Attorney Christine Ford. He is expected to recover and be released from the hospital sometime in the next couple of days, she said.
Maria Islas pleaded not guilty on Tuesday in Redwood City to one charge each of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence, Ford said. Each includes an added special circumstance of personally inflicting great bodily injury and weapon use, Ford said.
The most serious charge, attempted murder, carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison, Ford said.
According to Ford, the incident occurred in the middle of the afternoon of Sept. 8 in the home the couple shares in unincorporated San Mateo County near Menlo Park.
“There was an argument over her nutritional habits and how they impinged on the health of the pregnancy,” Ford said.

I can state with a great deal of certainty, that in 1975, there was no place on the Island of Oahu where one could buy a fresh apple at 2:00 am on a Monday morning.
ROFL
When I was pregnant (all 6 times) It was hubby that had the cravings believe it or not! I distinctly remember walking to the store at 3 am to get ice cream for HIM LOL... (and no I didn't mind doing it)
I can't believe she let him live. *wink*
May be addictive.
Watch out for ZOT! and for flame wars.
Cheers!
Thanks for the welcome, I love it here! I'm already addicted. :)
I thought only trolls had to watch out for ZOT??
Aye, but if you're standing too close, some of the debris might hit you :-)
Cheers!
Ahhh, I see. *straps on flak jacket*
Hopefully my new tagline will ward off any RATS and/or trolls. :)
If I didn't have my pot of coffee (decaff of course) every day while I was pregnant, I went nuts! That craving lasted most of my pregnancy. But when I got that craving for coffee, even in the middle of the night, and I couldn't have any, oh my poor gram (we were roomies)!
