Weird cravings?

I'm 31 weeks pg with my first and have an intense craving to eat chalk! It used to be cardboard, particularly toilet roll and kitchen roll tubes, but now it's chalk! I heard that it is a sign of pica and must mean I'm suffering from a deficiency of some sort, however I mentioned this to the doctor and all of my iron levels etc checked out fine! Why can't I crave food?! I just want to be normal! 😂😂😂 xxx

If your iron levels are fine do you eat stuff with enough calcium or magnesium in them? As it a nutrient deficiency of some kind.

Mate I have a thing for smelling my son's orange multivitamins. Odd right? I love smelling stuff!
The only thing I've craved is the burn of jalapeños in my mouth 😂 pregnancy is odd!!

Last pregnancy i wanted everything!! Especially quavers. 😋
