Pickles and pregnancy

mom2case · June 2014

I don't know what it is. I like pickles normally but when pregnant, dang they're good! I've been feeling pretty crummy for days. Bought some pickles tonight and I magically feel better. I'm sure I'll feel like crap again in 5 minutes, but this is such a welcome break. This jar will probably be gone by the weekend.

I had fried pickles the night I went into labor with DS. Good memories.

Mmmm pickles. Must remember to pick some up at the store next shopping trip...

Love me some pickles!! I finished my jar off yesterday and now I'm sad I didn't buy more

Confession: I've never eaten a pickle.

I've had relish though, so that sorta counts, right?

I heard they can help with morning sickness.... I don't know how true that is though

Even before I got pregnant, I could easily sit down and eat a whole jar of pickles in a day. Mmmm

Yuck, I hate pickles. Occasionally, like every other year, I'll eat some spears. I can't do it though if anybody is watching me. It must be done in seclusion. I'm a total weirdo. I am so glad my dd doesn't like pickles. Kids and pickles make my skin crawl. I know, I'm a freak.

However, I will eat the shit out of banana peppers. Yum yum yum

Boar's Head brand pickles- best ever! Find them in the refrigerated deli section. Mmmmm do good!

Oddly I normally like them and have been eating them now but they're not amazing as I hoped they'd be :-)

LOL welcome to my world except I bought two jars ate both at the same time and had half of each jar and then came home DH ate one jar...I was livid and I ate the other one...now I am with no pickles. I loved pickles before I was pregnant but now I AM OBSESSED!

Pickle juice is a better way to hydrate than gatorade. You're probably dehydrated. I'd also say this is why pregnant women crave pickles- for the salt because they are dehydrated. When I had hyperstimulation from IVF, I was instructed to drink as much pickle juice as I could stomach.

Now I'll be dragging ds to the store to get pickles & donuts. Dang it ladies!!

jennkg3 · June 2014

I've always loved them - but for some reason I'm finding them to be amazing right now. I ran out though :-(.

Yikes, that's a heck of a lot of sodium.

I have a ton of cucumbers and in need of very good pickle recipes. Suggestions more than welcome!!!

@calindi Oh let me find my grandmothers, Ice pickles recipe...wait do you like sweet pickles and do you mind onions? My grandmother makes ice pickles which you keep in your freezer. You pull them out to thaw slightly and eat them with the ice chips...they are to die for!

I've always loved pickles but the day I got my BFP I ate a pickle in a hamburger and I almost puked. That's how I knew something was up
