What's with my mad vinegar craving!?

[Jims_Girl]

Pickled cockles, salt & vinegar crisps, balsamic, red/White wine vinegar... Anything with vinegar - I've even come close to drinking it neat!!
Does anyone know why I'm craving this so badly... I know you body is craving what it needs so what's in vinegar that my body would need?

My mom was just telling me the other night that when she was preg with me, she put vinegar on everything! It's funny to see you post that same thing...

I'm the same! Gherkins and pickled onions rock my world

I suppose the cliche of the pregnant woman eating pickled eggs/cucumbers is true...
As long as I don't give birth to a weird vinegar fiend - you're alright aren't you!

I just found this in an ezine article -

The craving: Pickles

The problem: Low salt levels

A craving for pickles is very normal in pregnant women so don't worry if you're reaching for the gherkins at 3 o'clock in the morning! This craving is usually because of low salt levels in the blood of the pregnant woman. Salt holds water in the body and is really important in keeping the fluids running from mother to the baby. Green Spanish olives are a particularly good way to satisfy your need for salt.

Monkeydo - thank you!! So do you have any idea why? Or is it just a mad pregnancy thing?

I wonder if this is connected to my unquenchable thirst!!
