pickles and ice cream....

I never craved pickles and icecream with my son, but I did crave fruit smoothies like they were going out of style! Also I craved bean and cheese burritos. I had one every day of my pregnancy. I'm surprised I didn't gain 80 lbs. Just a tidbit of information....they say when you're pregnant, you crave what your body is lacking. Generally when women crave pickles and icecream they are lacking salt and calcium. I know it's strange, but that's what my midwife told me when I was pregnant.

I couldn't stand pickles when I was pregnant. Pickles, eggs and chicken made me vomit. I couldn't even stand to be near a KFC because I could smell it and it just made me sick. Instead, what I wanted more than anything was grilled cheese and green olives.

Nope can't say that I have craved pickles and icecream *loL* All I really wanted was ice to eat when I was pregnant, and I would get really upset if I didn't have it. And it had to be the real tiny pieces.

I have never craved these 2 things at the same time. I did crave claussen pickles during my last pregnancy. I have always loved ice cream. I think my weirdest craving has been for liver.

Wow that might taste awful. How does that taste?

no, I have never craved pickles and ice cream! I did crave mexican food and hot sauce with my son and then with my daughter, i craved shredded lettuce and cheese. I think that's ALL I ate. LOL

I know my mother used to always say she craved pickles all the time when she was pregnant with my sister, she never did say what she craved when she was pregnant with me....

Hello! Congrats on the pregnancy! I've never heard of pickles and ice cream, and I've had 5 babies! I've always heard pickles and peanut butter. And I loved that when I was pregnant, heck, even now! The thing I craved the most was ICE!!! I know it sounds silly but I just couldn't get enough ice! I also craved Taco Bell like a mad man! And MEAT! LOL, that sounds horrible.."I CRAVED MEATTTT" But anyways, Good Luck with your pregnancy! Have a good day!

I haven't exactly eaten pickles with ice cream, it sounds gross. But when I was pregnant I ate a whole unripe/green mango then had a pint of ice cream afterwards. I'm not really sure why pregnant women have weird food cravings.

When I was pregnant I craved, pickles, lemons, and pecan pie. I ate pickles and lemons all the time, I couldn't get enough of them. And I even made hubby go to the store for me at 11:00 one night to buy me a pecan pie. Now, if I put a pickle or a lemon up to my son's mouth he will not even make a face, he's just sucks on it. I guess he got used to it in my belly. LOL

i have seen my wife when she was first time pregnant and she used to have pickles and icecream 4-5 times in a day. what is benefit of it or bad effects of it, i am not aware of it.

It's not an expression I got the same cravings and so did my fiance. I craved chicken the most, and potato's...I would start craving this sub from quiznos And wanting certain dishes of food. But my Fiance kept thinking right on through the pregnancy about pickles, Ice cream, and meatloaf. Lol-Funny...Maybe it's universal for those in the US...and something equivalent to the taste in other countries...good question. First pregnancy and I got it.

i m trying to come in your row but till today havent conceived. i know and heard people telling about their cravings for certain things which on hearing seems to be very unusual but they love at that time and after that you ask them and try offering their 9 month old favorites, they'll wont even like to look to eat. i will also be into something like that only but only when GOD helps us.

Mine was Pickles and Cheese lol ....

I craved kosher dill pickles when I was pregnant. I ate them with fresh tomatos!

Maybe separately but not together...yikes! I did crave anchovies once, I think because of the saltiness.

Although I never had a "craving" for this, one day my brother in law was over and we were all eating ice cream. He said hey your pregnant go put pickles on it and chocolate syrup and see if this "craving" is true. I did it on the "dare" and actually it was pretty good. I ate it a few more times, but after I was pregnant it made me sick! Sorry to get off topic a little, but another of these is Ketchup or Mustard "sanwhiches" while pregnant taste pretty good :) after it ...YUCK!

I never craved anything other than what my body was lacking. But if it helps, I have heard of people doing this.

hmmm... i just gave birth few months ago. During my pregnancy, i didn't crave for pickles... but i did for ice cream. i don't eat pickles in the first place :) be safe always! congratulations on your third baby :)

It was never pickles n ice cream but it was right before i got pregnant i never had any craving really besides fruit when i was pregnant n i always want'd fruit. I always ate pickles with whipped cream i love it pregnant or not preg!! Thats the best!!
