Weirdo cravings?

This is my second pregnancy. I didn’t seriously crave anything in my first but enjoyed salt & vinegar crisps and cheese pasties. So nothing out the ordinary.

No physical food cravings this time either (I’m 36 weeks) and have ate reasonably well throughout. I’ve just started, though, to mindlessly chew my hair and it’s caused so much damage to the ends. I also really love the smell of steam and repeatedly scald the cloth and put it over my face when I’m washing. I think about it all the time. I work at an animal collection and the smell of water and chemicals in the aquarium there drives me wild. 😭

Anybody else really bothered by these sorts of cravings? 🫠

😂 bless you.
I have had so many food cravings but never the non-food items.

One thing I can’t deal with is smells at the moment!!

It’s so weird @Twinkletwinklelil, I want to eat steam! 😂

What smells are bothering you most?

Steam is crazy! 😂 but not harmful so all good?! 😂

I feel I can smell cigarettes in the bathroom every so often (no one smokes in our house!) and I hate it!
Can’t deal with toddlers nappy
most perfumes, deodorant etc. yuck
I smell damp clothes SO much! And everyone says it’s in my head 😂

only thing I can handle is hand sanitiser and that’s probably because I used it to help with the nausea early on
