    Maybe because they are delicious??!? Hah, Really though, I have no idea. I crave pickles all the time thought, even when not pregnant.

    My friend was just talking about that last weekend. But she couldn't remember what it meant. Her Dr said she was deficiant in something to be craving pickles.

    I heard on Dr. Oz that each craving in pregnancy is really because of a deficiency. Your body is sneakily trying to tell you that you need something that you're not getting.

    In the case of pickles, your body is telling you that it wants SALT!!!! I love pickles. The good chilled "white" kind are my favorite. mmm.

    I loved pickles before I got pregnant. Now I love them even more. I even caught myself drinking the juice last night. Funny thing is that it settles my stomach. Maybe the vinegar in it?

    I ate an entire jar a few weeks ago.  Now the thought of even one makes me feel sick!

    Probably for the salt. Although right now I am craving these pickles a friend of mine made once that were both sweet and spicy and made from store bought pickled cooked again.....they were good.....

     

    I have always seen pickles as a normal pregnancy thing. It seems like everyone wants them.

    I love pickles. I make my own at home. So fresh and delicious compared to store bought jar pickles. Yum!

    and.. Now I want a jar of dill pickles or even better, the fresh deli ones!.. I'm the only one at work right now, and may just have to close up shop to run to the store for some pickles..

    & saying that craving Pickles means your craving salt, definatly makes sense. Something about my crohns makes it so I don't absorb salt properly, and I always crave it, could be why I always crave pickles.
