hehehehe I know all about craving vinegar, I love salt n vinegar chips because of the vinegar taste and anything I can put vinegar on I love lol
I know in my case it's not lacking anything, it's just a preggy thing as I had bloods done |

Sneaky hubby.... yea I'm like you Stacey and I had it with my first pregnancy too. And I've just had bloods done (for the third time) as well  I think I'm just craving anything with a lot of taste in it this week.... tomato sauce, vinegar, mint sauce, salt... tonight I made seasoned mashed potatoes and usually I have things tasting duller than DH but tonight he said he could hardly eat them - and I couldn't taste anything!
Joys of pregnancy... hehe now it's both of us wishing it's over  ------------- |

Apparently extra salt is good if you are getting (leg) cramps... and since I've had them on and off I'm quite happy to keep the salt intake up for a couple more weeks! Funny thing is, I KNOW I'm adding more salt in our dinners but I can't taste any difference  ------------- |

I thought that as well but it still hasn't stopped me jumping out of bed at about 4am  to get rid of a leg cramp. I read somewhere that having a banana smoothie helps leg cramps so i'm having a banana every night now before bed and that seems to have helped with a glass of milk.------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I don't think taking a teaspoon of salt when the cramps come on would help, it's more a general increase in diet thing.... but there are other things my mw suggested to me too. I haven't tried them because I've never had bad cramps longer than a couple of days. They are Dolomite Powder, or Magnesium Supplements (from Health & Vitality). ------------- |
