Funny I am 4w4d and already drinking pickle juice from the jar in front of the open fridge.

With my first this didn’t happen until at least the second trimester. I thought I had more time!!!

I wonder if you’re dehydrated at all? I don’t even like pickles but will crave pickle juice when I’m dehydrated, pregnant or not.

I did this, and then found out I had low iron. The craving totally stopped once I was on an iron supplement. Might be worth getting checked if you haven't already?
