Strange cravings

[princesspickle]

I think I may be losing my marbles, 5th baby and these cravings are insane.
Anything fresh smelling, I mean anything flash, washing powder even the newly washed bath towels are looking tasty!

Last night I spent a full 20 mins histerically crying because DH wouldn't let me drink the zuflora!

Please tell me others have experienced this. I was fully expecting the normal cravings of extra chocolate or sweet snacks not this! 😂🤣😂

Pica can be dangerous. Drinking Zoflora or any other cleaning detergents could make you or your baby seriously ill. PLEASE speak to your midwife!

Yes I knew someone who craved soap when she was pregnant! She would suck it through a flannel! She spoke to the midwife who said it was fine as it was clearly something her body was missing. I would definitely speak to your midwife though and see what she says. My MIL craved chocolate dipped in vinegar when she was pregnant 🤮

Is this not a sign of iron deficiency? I'd speak to your midwife asap.

I currently crave toothpaste, tissue and talcum powder turns out I have quite severe anemia which is likely why I crave these things, speak to your GP and ask for a blood test

Yes, you need to speak to your midwife or GP about pica, as it can indicate vitamin or mineral deficiencies.

Agree with others. Pica usually indicates a deficiency X
