I am 8 weeks pregnant. I just love pickles and have a big tablespoon with each meal. But, my husband tells me not to eat them anymore. He says that they contain sodium and can harm the baby. Is this true?

Ask any old granny and she will say that pickle juice is good for soothing upset stomachs and that is why you crave for them during pregnancy. Yes, they do contain a lot of sodium. If you cannot do away with them, start reducing the quantity you take with each meal. I think this should not cause a problem.
