ive been craving olives so much lately, putting them in everything. im in my first trimester. just wanted to check if its actually fine to have them often or should i go easy. anyone else had this craving?
Olives are generally fine in pregnancy, they have healthy fats. Just go easy because they are quite salty and too much salt isnt great, especially if your BP runs high. In moderation totally okay.
I ate olives sometimes and it was fine. Since I had thyroid and watched my salt and iodine, I just kept them in limit. If you have any BP or thyroid stuff, mention it at your next doctor visit, otherwise enjoy them.
Oh I craved olives on pizza so badly in my second trimester haha. They are fine to eat, just the salty ones I didnt overdo. A few in a salad or sandwich is lovely and safe.
