Did any of you have overwhelming cravings for salt during your pregnancy?
When I was pregnant with Jaelyn, over ten years ago, I ate so much salt my coworkers used to tease me and tell me they would buy me a salt block and I could go to town etc. I mean I would eat whole rock salt crystals, pour sea salt on everything. It was just a crazy craving to me at the time. Some women wanted Whoppes, I wanted salt, so what? Ya know?! I told the docs how much I was eating and this was my only craving, they told me I had a form of Pica, craving non food items, etc and so long as my blood pressure/blood work was ok, everything was fine. Maybe it was just me, maybe it was her taking all of my nutritional <span style="color: #000000;">stores due to the CF and that was the cause of the cravings. But thinking back on all the signs that led up to Jaelyn's diagnosis in 2005 at age 3, this was the first one. I wish I would have dug a little deeper at the time but obviously of no consequence now. I just wanted to know if I was the only one this ever happened to. I would imagine probably more common but you never know, could have been an isolated incident. Thanks for sharing your story!
