Craving baking soda! Is this normal?

edited September 2011 in Pregnant
I'm 37 weeks and every since I was 34 weeks I've been craving bacing soda a lot! I don't swallow it, I just brush my teeth with it as well as using the baking soda toothpaste. I'm just trying to figure out why I'm craving it so much. Is this normal?

  • You should have your doctor check your iron levels. It is considered a pica craving and is usually an indicator for low iron; you body is craving something to replenish the vitamins it doesn't have.
