i am 34 weeks and craving burnt wood off the coal fire. im wondering if this is safe. i take bits off let them cool and eat them. they dont particularly taste nice and i dont no why i like them. even more i love to strike matches and let them burn down and eat them. anyone else eating any weird stuff.

No, not safe at all! Speak to your midwife asap.

Google pica for more info.

That's an impressive craving, does just smelling it not help, or do you feel you have to eat it?

I'm only 15 weeks, but have not got crazy insomnia just now and had a craving for pasta bows with butter. Just made it, changed my mind half way through decided I should still have some, and was rewarded by then being sick.
