Pica
Sooo, just figured it out... I have pica :-S
My Husband doesn't believe me... :-W
In the same respect he didn't believe half the things I told him I have been going through this entire pregnancy. He's had the moodswings and I have had to just suck it up (leaving me no chance nor space to freely experience my first-time mommy-to-be experience); but this is not about him.
Let's get back to me and pica. Not to worry (I hope) ladies; I found out via internet research, I have Paphogia Pica. I only crave crushed or resturaunt ice. I don't have any urges to ingest dirt, laundry detergent, chalk or paint chips... Just ice chips.
I think I have pica of the olfactory system, if there is even such a thing. I get a "guilty pleasure" high for the smell of industrial laundry. =P~
It's a high I could only imagine is similar to a fiend's crack high...
I also LOVE the smell of Clorox bleach. By the way, some one should sue Gain. Pregnancy did NOT bring on any fondness for Gain, in fact I become physically ill at the scent of Gain [sorry about the Gain rant]. :-)
Is anyone else suffering from pica? Have any insight about pica? LOL...anything at all to share...?
