Did anyone actually crave pickles when they were pregnant?

[giantwaterbottle]

There's the slimmest chance ever that I'm pregnant and it would not really be a good thing if I was.
Today I cannot stop eating pickles I've eaten a whole jar and then had to find something else pickled this evening (beet root) because I was craving it so strongly.
I'm thinking it's probably the heat?

What weird pregnancy things did you crave? I didn't have any craving with previous pregnancies either so thinking it's not...

Broccoli and cauliflower first pregnancy. Dairy products for second pregnancy, even though the smell made me feel sick.

Pickled cucumbers. By the jar. Couldn’t get enough of them

I noticed some serious food aversions more than cravings each time I was pregnant.

Milk, maltesers & Christmas Puddings with all three.

I detest milk but when I was pregnant with DS1 in the winter I craved porridge made with full fat milk. With DS2 in the summer it was Angel Delight. I never eat either normally. Pickles? I can eat a jar of those all day long! Not pregnant!

Pickles and sauerkraut and anything generally pickly. Those alien shaped crisps were my main craving.

Yes! And lemon juice until I remembered that grapefruit juice exists and comes in cartons.

Yep, pickled walnuts for me, yummo. My mother used to post them to me because I couldn't get them where I lived. Hmmm I could demolish a jar of them now.

I've never known anyone else to crave them either! Thinking about it now it was so odd lol
They had to be soaked in freezing cold water first, DH looked at me like I was nuts when I told him that's what I was craving

I've never been pregnant and eat pickled cucumbers everyday. I'm a pickle addict.

Christmas pudding for me, no where near as awful as my dm, she used to want to sniff petrol when she as pregnant with all 3 of us.

I ate a lot of pickles when pregnant, but that’s not unusual. I would happily eat spoons of Branston and jars of beetroot at any time.

Weirdly I am a pickle fiend most of the time and happily sit there and eat an entire jar a day. But last few weeks (I'm 11+6) I've gone totally off them. I think the acid isn't good for my morning sickness

Cheese and coleslaw sandwiches was the thing I ate most of while pregnant, the only substantial thing that didn’t make me feel sick. And Irn Bru, which I can’t stand normally. I also drank milk which I never normally do.

I didn't crave anything but went off a lot of things.
The smell of certain foods and drink had me running to the loo to be sick more times than I care to remember!!

Yes, pickle onions. Sliced in a sandwich with a sliced Mars bar added. My DM said it was ner wonder i was sick throughout my pregnancy. But I coukd kerp that down 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No I was for the meat,all the meat.
Burgers,mixed kebabs,hotdogs sausages,sausage rolls and meat pie

Noooooo! Oh god that has made me heave haha.

I've had more aversions than strong cravings so far but I do fancy pickled onion monster munch, chicken soup, and McDonalds chicken nuggets and cheese burgers (with gherkins of course!) quite often!

Thai food ...the spicier the better and really vinegary chips and wallies/gherkins from the local chippy.. the owner loves the fact dc 6ft reckons its all down to him.....

Pickled onions was my craving whilst pregnant with my 2cnd. I even went to a local chip shop and pleaded with the owner to sell me 2 trade jars to get me through the weekend. My ex sis-in-law craved cucumbers. My brother told us she bought carrier bags stuffed with them in Sainsbos and ate them like chocolate.

I craved yellow burger mustard by the spoonful and watercress. (not together!)

DD hates both 😂

I’m not pregnant but went through a phase of intense gherkin cravings!

With both of mine I’d go to subway and have a foot long gherkin sandwich on Italian herbs and cheese

Pickled onion monster munch! All day everyday for weeks!

I always remember an Aunt of mine eating green gooseberries, she always had a brown paper bag full of green (as in unripe) gooseberries.
