you're not going to get "that" much if you put it on a salad. Before you go to bed, take a tablespoon.........if it doesnt' work that well take 2-3 the next day. I'm not sure how much to tell you to take because I don't get pregnant obviously, so I don't know the physiological differences between what you have and the rest of us have. It could be being pregnant makes things more difficult to cure.......who knows. But the vinegar thing is old school for sure.........but the new pills they have out there have been found to reduce your ability to absorb calcium later on in life, bringing on osteoperosis (sp?). So I'll stick with the home remedy.
