I have started having mild m/s the last few days. I have this annoying nausea that seems to last all day long, but is not so bad that I actually vomit or anything. It just nags at me all day long. :( Anyway, this morning, nothing seemed appetizing to me (but my nausea was begging for something to get in my tummy) and lo and behold, PICKLES jumped out at me. I stood at the counter by the fridge and ate about 15 dill pickle chips straight out of the jar (the kind you put on burgers) and they were soooo yummy! Is there some reason pg women crave pickles? Does this mean i'm not getting enough sodium?

I don't have an answer for you, but I also love pickles and olives!

Hey Nicole,

I wish something would jump out at me!! I'm generally feeling queasy all day too, but nothing is appealing to me!! It does help when I eat something though! Pickles would be last on my list right now. . .I'm thinking pizza for lunch!!! Went through a whole row of saltines at work in the last 3 days. I think I'd rather have this than the heartburn. . .I'm sure that's coming soon!

When is your next u/s? I'm going tomorrow before I leave for FL. . .fingers crossed everything is ok. . .

I was totally the opposite. I usually love pickles but after I got pregnant, I want no part of them. Strange how we are all so different. DH was so disappointed that I didn't want pickles and ice cream!

I was blessed with M/S also and the only thing that calmed my tummy down was Orange soda!! Now Chris really hates Pickles and I usually love them!! Ever since I got PG I can not stand those things! Chris says that Matthew is like him and hates them also!!


I think that your body does change a little! My taste has changed since the 1T also!

I didn't have m/s or any significant cravings but I can say that during the 1T I wanted lots of spicy food!

Sandi,
That's so funny - I used to LOVE plain water to drink, now I can't drink water unless I put a ton of lemon juice in it! Kinda like lemonade. I've gone through one of the huge bottles of "Real Lemon" lemon juice in the last three weeks. It's crazy!
