Ahem...Whispers...i ate the bathroom sponge!

[Emmiedarling]

I'm 29 weeks pregnant and for the past 8 weeks I have been OBSESSED with sponges. Kitchen scourers, bathroom ones, facial ones... I even went along to Tesco specifically to look at the sponge section.

I know it sounds ridicuous, but I ADORE the smell of them and also the texture in my mouth.

I hadn't actually EATEN any of the sponge until tonight, in the shower where the urge became too much and I took a little bite.

Oh god, thinking about it now is making my mouth water!!!!

Have I gone completely insane? (I feel like it!)

So this morning I sucked my sponge, I blame you lot, and the coconut shower gel

I also have a thing for brushing my teeth, I just keep doing it!

HAHAHA! Sorry, this just reminded me of my best mate, she also was Obsessed with sponges, including spongey footballs. She would sit and squeeze and feel them then eventually moved on to wanting eat them and suck them, turned out she was very anaemic.

I smelled and ate soap...

OMG, funny but slightly bisarre all the same, seems to happen to alot though...makes me feel positively normal (so far) I just like marmite and peanutbutter, not together tho..

I'll happily take soap over marmite any day! Tasted lovely at the time!

My BF craved dirt with her DD2, she bought an apple tree, planted it out, then would sit for hours sniffing the bag it came in! Didn't even put her off when she spied the huge spider at the bottom of it!

Lovely lace I love marmite and peanut butter together! It's lush specially on hot toast ! Not a pregnancy thing either eaten them together since I was a kid!

Hahahaaha this thread made me laugh so much.
Only wierd craving I've had is Ice... but I've heard that is very very common.

Bon appetit you sponge eating, beautiful pregnant ladies!!

This thread is so funny, I hav laughed so much my tummy hurts!!! At 29 wks I have craved nowt and am feeling a bit weird now!!!!! Not at all tempted by the sponge, bubbles or polyfilla tho!!! Don't think crisps biscuits or chocolate counts as cravings, just self indulgence!! Happy munching spongyones!!! Erm..... How does it work out with any constipation???

GnocchiNineDoors ... I used to eat beetroot too!! I have always liked it and still do, but i was going through a jar a day, and I drank the vinegar too.

The woman in the co-op used to keep a couple of jars under the counter for dh.

And in all our years it's more or less the only thing dh has ever "accused" me of...as ds1 was born dh gasped..."christ he's purple....it's all that bloody beetroot!"

:o

Ooooooh thought I'd let u all know I found a pack of 3 sponges in the pound shop! Yummmmmmmnn

Mickey I went mad with ice when pregnant and it lasted a while after. Drove my family crazy as I love crunching it, I was so happy I had great teeth and could chew through it.

Lush!

I have the eating bath bubbles thing... It has to be green Radox though! I also have Radox in my oil burner downstairs because I am addicted to the smell. And I washed my hair in it yesterday DH spent all evening stroking it saying "Your hair looks lovely peerie!"
I also have fantasies about taking a big bite of the Shield soap I have in the kitchen. Proper soapy smelling soap. I use it rather a lot. I wonder if it will work in the oil burner?

My weird craving was cat food I never actually ate it but I loved the smell of it when pregnant and would spend a while sniffing it whilst my poor cats sat staring at me wondering when I was actually going to feed them!
