I am pregnant and the thought of this almost sent me to the toilet. Blechhhh

My mother used to have cravings for chalk when i was in the womb so Id honestly rather it be stuff like this. It doesnt even look bad it just looks like stoner type food and i think i would like it
meltsaman@reddit
This was probably more that her body was looking for calcium, thus chalk craving
RubberDucky702@reddit
We'll chalk it up to that
fordfield02@reddit
ziptnf@reddit
Hang on. Chalk? Like. What you write on a blackboard with?
ApricotFantasy@reddit
Isnβt this called PICA?

Humans have always eaten chalk. What do you think antacid tablets like Tums are made of?
Sound_Triber@reddit
I gotta eat some chalk, this seaweed is upsetting my stomache
Sm00gz42@reddit
Sodium bicarbonate and chalk.
theangryjanitorOG@reddit
Pica pica choooo
demontwines@reddit
Yeah! like OP replied its a condition called Pica. pregnancy cravings can be rlly weird, and highly specific which is why i have like no judgement for a post like this lol
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Yeah I think itβs called Pica.
MFxKool@reddit
That might be a medical condition.
demontwines@reddit
Its called Pica and it seems to be a common craving, esp in expecting mothers, like ive heard the chalk thing from not just my own mom. I think the chalk craving happens to ppl with anemia too?
socoyankee@reddit
Cat Litter to. My first OB appointment they went over cravings like that and too watch out for them.
AbRNinNYC@reddit
It is a medical condition and a lot of times it is bc the body is deficient in some vitamins/minerals even electrolytes.
dusklavanna@reddit
I craved soap. Like, bars of irish springs to be so specific. I would chew ice and sniff a bar that i crushed up in a bag. It was so disgusting feeling until I knew there was a name for it. Pica during pregnancy is way more common than we would think. Its so odd I now have a son with pica. Rocks are his favorite π«ͺ
BLK_Sprr@reddit
Based on the 5 replies before mine, Iβm hoping your mother is well & healthy!!!!!π«ΆπΎ (& u tooπ)
VirtualNerve26@reddit
I'm not pregnant and would absolutely eat this haha
Bitter-Teach-6193@reddit
I would so eat this
The-Devil-Cat@reddit
nah i get it
Turtle_With_Grudge@reddit

redjade42@reddit
baby want salt
The-Final-Reason@reddit
Real question⦠can a baby become diabetic in the womb? I could probably google this lol
IthacanPenny@reddit
Idk about fully diabetic, but definitely insulin resistant. It can lead to a lifetime of weight problems for the baby. Ask me how I know π
No-Long5784@reddit
Iβm not a doctor but I did have Gestational Diabetes and I believe the baby can be born with it. So I guess, yes?
Moonspiritfaire@reddit
This comment is underrated. I can hear it "baby wants salt..." If your baby is bump is jamming, craving salty snacks, no spam, yo. Baby needs salt."π§πΆ
IthacanPenny@reddit
A gentle suggestion to google what cheeses are safe to eat during pregnancy. Not trying to shame, just looking out for you in case you were unaware of the recommendations regarding some soft cheeses :)
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Omg am I not supposed to eat feta?? panics and runs to google
IthacanPenny@reddit
This is how I felt about Brie πππ
Vexmythoclastt@reddit
This is vile π€’
karatebanana@reddit
Omg youβre the person the cold salad bar is for β€οΈβ€οΈ
Designer-Ruin7176@reddit
That looks insanely good
DuckSwimmer@reddit
Deadass I would fuck this up.
Iβm also pregnant
ckouf96@reddit
Thereβs nothing shitty about this. The ranch could be slightly questionable but itβs all objectively delicious flavors mashed together
Canβt trust someone who doesnβt love olives
Cute_Comfortable_761@reddit
I would try it if I liked olives more. Maybe I can sub in pickles or something.
GoarSpewerofSecrets@reddit
I mean, if you got a craving at least it's a decent snack. My poor wife took the prohibition against feta to the extreme so she had none during her pregnancies. Got her aΒ Greek salad after the first one from the hospital cafeteria. Had like two nibbles of it, I was pissed for her.
Trash_Panda_Trading@reddit
Looks π₯ love me some olives and feta
Ornery_Brief_2743@reddit
That sounds super good
HeWhoChasesChickens@reddit
That's just deconstructed tapenade
littleclaww@reddit
Honestly you haven't missed yet.
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
We have one!
littleclaww@reddit
The olive tapenade + roasted tomato labneh dip with pita chips is like the best combo
El_Zarco@reddit
TJ's snack program is elite. They have like the tastiest versions of everything I swear
Early_Macaroon_2407@reddit
Low sodium olives seems like closing the barn door after the horse has Kool-aid Manned his way through it.Β
Rickety_Cricket_23@reddit
I must be pergante, this sounds good.
I am drunk so ill revisit tomorrow
AardvarkGlittering83@reddit
You know what at first I thought those were grapes and that was more wild. It being olives? Fuck yeah, rock on
Deep-Repeat1021@reddit
Omg Iβd eat these hands down lol
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
It was very yummy. I like subbing the cheese for different cheeses depending on my mood!
ThePoohKid@reddit
Why is the bacon red?
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Itβs bacon bits. Not real bacon.
ThePoohKid@reddit
Huh. I did not know that was a thing.
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Google McCormick Bacon Bits. Mine were the Kroger brand ones but theyβre by the salad toppings and croutons at the store.
TerminatorAuschwitz@reddit
I'd eat that
Babymakerwannabe@reddit
Iβm weirdly here for this right now. Granted Iβm super duper baked π€£Β
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Make it!!!
BLK_Sprr@reddit
Altho I been drinkin already this evening, Iβve contemplated tappin into some π¨π¨ for hoursπ© Anyway..IMO, I feel like this would hit the SPOT for either βmode of intoxicationβπ π
Having_A_Day@reddit
Pregnancy cravings never count as "shitty". I'd at least try this, altho I'm not usually a big ranch dressing fan. It looks like salad ingredients.
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
I bet itβd be good with Italian or Caesar dressing!
puppycatisselfish@reddit
Deep fry the olives in batter then top it and its bar food.
LauraLand27@reddit
Box that up please. Iβll take a pound.
Ill-Television8690@reddit
So, basically the pasta salad I just made? All you need is some sweet corn, onions, and pasta and they're identical lmao
OGBRedditThrowaway@reddit
Why even bother with low sodium olives at that point?
fuzzylogicIII@reddit
To make room for the garlic salt of course
Legitimate-Fox-7030@reddit
Too much salt makes you feel sick.
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Makes my BP go high
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Because I monitor my sodium and this was a literal 1/2 teaspoon of ranch and feta doesnβt have as much sodium as people think.
Cheap_Papaya_2938@reddit
β¦but then you add garlic salt lol
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Yes a literal shake of low sodium garlic salt lmao
TheManWhoWasNotShort@reddit
I donβt want to tell you what to do or whatever, but this specific craving SCREAMS that what you actually are craving is salt
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Oh I know. I just canβt have the amount I want lol
theangryjanitorOG@reddit
I thought they were Brussel sprouts.
fuzzylogicIII@reddit
I was hoping for Swedish meatballs
ChaoticxSerenity@reddit
What was the point of getting low sodium olives if you just added all the salt back ππ
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Because everything is low sodium π
AJRoadpounder@reddit
Are those bacon and bleu cheese olives?
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Bacon olive and feta cheese
lskerlkse@reddit
gross it needs raisins
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Ewwww I hate raisins.
gilly_girl@reddit
You're pregnant, maybe you like them now.
Fwumpy@reddit
This is perfect logic!
LilSwaggyMayne@reddit
Iβm not judging but how do you even come up with this pregnancy craving? Lol was it something youβd snack on before you got pregnant or just something your pregnant mind randomly concocted?
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
My mom used to make chick pea salad that was this except with chick peas and I wanted olives so I was like hmmm sounds yummy lol
LilSwaggyMayne@reddit
Lmao thatβs hilarious, hope it hit the spot!!
TheManWhoWasNotShort@reddit
Wha the fuck is a low sodium olive?
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
A low sodium olive.
februarytide-@reddit
I ate so many weird green olive combinations when pregnant. Hit the spot so good
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
Yes Iβve been craving them so bad lol
No_System9020@reddit
I thought those were grapes at first, but carry on βΊοΈ
burnthatbridgewhen@reddit
Deconstructed stuffed grapes with a dill forward Aoli sauce topped with bacon and infused salt. Sounds delicious. Iβd eat it with a dry white wine.
_TheShapeOfColor_@reddit
I would eat every bit of this and I am not pregnant in the slightest lol
Educational-Hope-601@reddit
Iβd eat this and Iβm not pregnant π
mythicapixy@reddit
God I wasn't paying attention I thought it was brussel sprouts (which... Still wouldn't be so bad (?))
NectarOfTheBussy@reddit
damn I was gonna guess jalapeΓ±os and hot cheetos and make a dun joke but Iβd smash this
JuniperJoieDeVivre@reddit
This sounds absolutely divine tbh
littlebugonreddit@reddit
This sounds fire as fuck, id eat it
jstewart25@reddit
I donβt like olives but if I did I think this would actually work for me. Yeah it looks like shit but itβs actually a workable combo
PowerPleb2000@reddit
Why couldnβt you just crave big macs or something like my mum did?
elfypoo13@reddit (OP)
I hate McDonaldβs lol
Buttcrack15@reddit
I'd eat the shit out of that. It's just a salad with no lettuce.
Chessapeak-play@reddit
Thatβs WILD
