don't know I thought they were concerned about low iodine levels these days contributed in part by our lack of salt in cooking etc (and the fact that when we do we use non iodised salt) and these affects on pregnancy. The only other think I could think of is too much salt and not enough water and some element of dehydration (total guess by the way) - will be interested to hear cause salty foods is about all I can stomach for the morning sickness stage.
I am a believer in everything in moderation..including when I am pregnant The fact that I craved bacon, egg and black pudding sandwhiches with salt and ate them alot means I wouldn't trust my judgement
While I was working, I went to the vending machine nearly every day for those kettle rock salt and vinegar chips. Not sure what he meant??
How would we get baby boys then? Isn't that how it works - if you eat lots of salt, you get a boy; eat sweet, get a girl? It certainly worked for me, I couldn't get enough of salty foods when I was pregnant with Ianto (as opposed to my usual sweet tooth)
Many doctors don't want you eating salt as it can lead to fluid retention. However, you do actually need salt as you end up producing 40% more blood than pre-pregnancy. It's just that it's added to everything anyway, so it's about keeping an eye on it, rather than stopping eating salt all together (we'd die if we didn't consume any salt at all). So just keep it in moderation and balance it with fluids.
I'd be concentrating more on getting high enough levels of protein and calcium.
I'm thinking blood pressure and fluid retention.
At 8 weeks I was told more salt, more fat. Salt because my BP was stupidly low (mostly went for electrolyte drinks, but also not to be shy with the iodised salt shaker) and Fat because my progesterone was all over the shop and doc was a little concerned that I mightn't have enough fat to produce lots. (but it wasn't the fun kind )
