When you are pregnant do you crave pickles?

In: Pregnancy Symptoms [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Some women do. I didn't crave anything but I did go off coffee, tea (common) chocolate and baked jacket potatoes.

Answer

Some women do, some don't. Some women never have any weird cravings, and others do.
I had different food cravings with each of my three pregnancies: a certain kind of pizza your could get from only one place (45 min from our home); Cincinnati Chili with extra onions - every weekend; and raw cauliflower and cucumbers in Italian dressing, respectively.
Everyone is different. And you don't have to be pregnant to have weird cravings either... last summer I couldn't get enough pistachio ice cream, so every weekend my family would drive 25 minutes to the only ice cream place in our area where I find it -- of course, for some reason none of the local groceries stocked it at the time. Go figure.

Answer

I certainly didn't, but everyones different. I craved Wendy's smoothies ALL the time and couldn't go a day without one. :)

Answer

LOL A common stereotypical craving... I DIDN'T actuallly.. but I did crave... I think ppl generally use pickles and chocolate ice cream as an example to show how odd the cravings can get... but I like that stuff NORMALLY lol... I craved bologna which I didn't even like (until then).. then it changed to fruity flavors (mostly cherry popsicles, cherry koolaid, and jellos) and frozen vegetables (cooked of course lol) So... some women crave... some don't... but we all crave DIFFERENT stuff... no one food is "common" to pregnancy.. just stay healthy and drink LOTS and LOTS of water .. cause those UTI's are killer!
