How much salt is too much salt?

Mariah
All I'm craving is salty stuff and sprite... I add salt to my food and just ate some fabulous potato chips and now my fiance is going to McDonald's ( I know, ew) to get me a chicken sandwich. I just had the sudden fear of having too much salt in my diet. Any pregnancy do's and don'ts that say somewhere not to take in too much salt (for anything other than the swelling roo much sodium causes) I worry about it harming my baby developmentally. (Even though I'm probably not taking in that much sodium as I think )

If you have salt at home make sure it is sea salt - that contains a range of minerals that don't affect blood pressure as much - however do watch sodium in processed foods and keep hydrated

Also craving salt! (In the form of bacon egg and cheese sandwiches). Oddly enough, yesterday my prenatal yoga instructor mentioned that pregnant women crave salt so much, particularly in the first trimester, because your body is producing extra blood...and salt is a component of blood.

A lot of salt can raise your blood pressure, so I'd keep an eye on that.
