Tongue chewing in pregnancy!!!

I am going crazy chewing my tongue, I mentioned to my midwife about potentially having pica and she made a joke about not eating enough (as I have gestational diabetes and tend to miss blood sugar readings throughout the day due to not eating) but I need something else to curb this itch, it’s almost like a drug just chewing/sucking my tongue through the side of my teeth, I’ve been managing with chewing sponges with water but I can’t do that out in public so my tongue is killing throughout the day, sometimes I don’t even know I’m doing it but feel so satisfied when I am, I have really sensitive teeth and the thought of chewing ice makes me cringe, anyone any suggestions on other things I can chew to try and curb this. Almost 31 weeks - I had this in my 1st pregnancy too and now in my 2nd. SEND HELP lol

Oh my days I’ve had this during pregnancy too 😂 didn’t even realise it could be a pregnancy thing. It’s been so satisfying! Chewing gum perhaps?
