yes me too with this pregnancy,from 14 weeks i wanted salt on everything and so i just had to limit it,your body is a good filter, as long as theres not too much,i had salt on cucumbers to satisfy my craving but then made sure i drank lots of water all day.im 36 weeks now and baby hasnt suffered from the teaspoon of salt i had a day,i actually dont fancy it now.i had so low blood pressure early on i was told to eat salt to higher it,how strange was that,maybe my body knew before anyone else.take care
