Pickles help with nausea. Pregnant women are often bothered by nausea. It is recommended to pregnant women to eat pickles or some other foods like Lemon Drop Candies to help.

Some times with the hormonal changes taking place in the body, a woman will want some very specific food or combination of foods, usually sour, sweet or salty. This doesn't happen during every pregnancy and if it does, it's at no specific time during the 9 months. However, years ago, it was a sort of joke to say if a woman was craving pickles or pickles and ice cream, then she must be pregnant. The idea has carried on and now, just the mention of a female liking pickles will have someone suggesting she's pregnant.

Lots of women admit to weird cravings and aversions during pregnancy. In most cases, they're nothing to worry about. Pregnant women should enjoy the new taste sensations they're experiencing as a mom-to-be. Just don't let them replace a healthy diet for the next nine months.
Fatty, sugary, or salty foods are the most common -- hence the PICKLES and ice cream for some. Particularly in the first trimester, they may be the only foods you can keep down, and since morning sickness is worse on an empty stomach, cravings may be a protective device to stay full.
Pregnancy is supposed to be enjoyable, so have a little fun with the cravings, but don't go overboard. The key is making sure you're getting a healthy diet first, and then working in those extras.!

pickles are good!! I don't think they necesssarily 'crave' them.. I just think if a pregnant woman eats a pickle she is more likely to take note of it...when she isn't pregnant she doesn't think twice about eating a pickle or thinking that it's a craving..It's just a well known myth..so anytime mom-to-be reaches for a pickle. it is all of a sudden seen as a pregnancy craving..

A lot of people have the notion that pregnant women crave pickles. This is not true, just a commonly held belief by ignorant people!

since pregnant women crave wierd things that they never used to crave, pickles and ice cream is like an expression. hardly anyone craves for pickles because it is like sour and wierd. and since pregnant women crave for wierd foods, people just say that pickles are one of them.
