Can't get enough salt!

It's so strange, I am never a salt craves-type person. I like sweets and usually crave those and sometime pickles. The last 2 weeks of being pregnant I've been craving 1 salty thing after another (soups, chips, pickles). I usually only eat potato chips like 1-2 times a year and yesterday I was craving sour cream & onion ruffles, bought them and devoured them.

Is anybody else having opposite types of cravings than you typically do, not pregnant?

I'm usually a sugar lover, but all I want is salt! I have been eating Wheat Thins like crazy and today at lunch I popped open a jar of Green Olives. Then I wanted sweet pickles, so I need to go buy some this week. I don't even want chocolate or anything sugary.

I haven't wanted to eat anything all day, then I saw this post and immediately started craving sour cream & onion ruffles! Yum! I think we might actually have some already... I'm about to go check.. Thanks lol!

I'm normally a sugar girl, and was with DS, but this time around I want the salty stuff.  That is when my tummy feels good enough to want food.  I'm still pretty nauseous most of the time with this one.

I'm with you... sweets hold no interest for me right now.  But, I'll take salty, for sure!
 
Sweets are so "ugh" to me, that I can't even take my gummy prenatals; I had to switch to pills so I would even take them!

I'm usually a sweets girl but I have only wanted salts.  I normally don't salt my foods either and I have been lately.  Nothing has been salty enough.  I'm trying to hold back though, I know all this salt can't be good.

glad to hear that I'm not alone! *pickle cheers*

I normally crave sweets too, and I've been repulsed by the thought of eating any chocolate or anything, which is so weird to me! I've been obsessed with eating the LaBrea Bakery Olive Bread with Herbed goat cheese.  And nothing I eat seems to be salted enough!

I was at Target yesterday and bought a bag of popcorn. It was awesome. Also, pickles and Pringles. I'm loving them right now.

Yep! I'm usually a sweets and chocolate dessert lover, but haven't been able nor want to do anything sweet. Popcorn and chips are yummy and I pick those over cake!

I have been the same way! Tater tots are the thing I want most!

 

I read in one of my books that there is an old wives tale that if you crave salty things you are going to have a boy and if you crave sweet things you are going to have a girl. Haha.
