ive been craving vinegar, odd i know. but ive been eating a lot of sourkraut, salt and vinegar chips, dill pickles (well actually, any kind), drinking the pickle juice, and making my famous "vinegar filled cucumber salad". and I even can drink that juice out of the cucumber salad. Is vinegar dangerous durring pregnancy, i wouldnt see why it would be, but ive never had this type of craving before. I have heartburn and i take tums and am prescribed zantac. i do take that often, but this craving is just odd to me. what's you're oddest craving, and can anyone relate to my 'vinegar' craving?

I would just call your doctor/midwife/nurse and ask them. Usually a craving is just your body's way of getting the nutrients it needs. I ate alot of pickles when I was pregnant but now only eat them once in a while.

I had vinegar cravings and I asked my midwife about it...she said it wouldn't do any harm to the baby. My little girl was born healthy and happy without any problems, she's now seven months old:)
