OMG but i wish I could! If anything smells like dirt (the kind they use when theres construction not regular street dirt) or chalk, Im in heaven...lol Ive realized that the air that comes out of a vent when the heat is on is good too. Man...I sound like a damn nut. I never thought I would be the kind of pregnant woman to have Pica.
Lmao you sound just as crazy as me! Just the thought of dirt and chalk makes me want to eat it! I remember on "True Life" there was an episode with two mothers who were pregnant with twins. One of he mothers was in L&D and she had a pack of chalk and was eating it. the dr. came in and saw her with it but didnt say anything. Im sooo scared of this craving. Its gotten to the point where Im seriously considering grinding chalk pieces up and walking around with it all day, while eating ice chips....lol
Have you ladies had your iron levels checked? I know its common for women to have those cravings but its usually associated with low iron or vitamin deficiency. I personally think craving anything besides big mac's is completely absurd:)
That is why Im changing dr's. When I told my dr. that I had these weird cravings all she said was its completely normal in pregnancy. Intsead of wanting to order tests to see if I was low in something she was standing there trying to figure out alternatives on what I can eat in replace of it :O So yeah, that will be the last time I will be seeing her. When I see the male dr. in two weeks I will bring it up to him and see what he says. Trust me I was one of the ones to think that it was crazy for people to crave non edible items but here I am craving them. I have absolutely no control over it. :-(
@myHEARTZx3 mine started with smelling the air that came out of my exhaust while driving. It smelled so good to me. It reminded me of smelling the heat through the vents when it came up during the winter. Then i went to church one Sunday and they are doing construction so all of the roads are dirt and whenever someone would drive by the dirt would lift in the air and I would get a good wiff. I knew it was all over after that...smh
ooh...lol well yeah u should try bringing it up to a different doc and see if there something u can do. because right now its just smells..pretty soon ur gonna wanna eat it!
I wash my floors every other day.i love the smell of household cleaning products. Ive even been caught taking a whiff of.my yellow rubber cleaning gloves lol oh and the smell that comes out the a\c
Wow... Have heard of this kinda thing before but never known anyone who has suffered with it. I cant imagine having a craving that im not fully able to fulfil, it would drive you crazy you poor things :-(
I tried to lick lemon scented hand sanitizer wipes but before I can get my tongue to them my boyfriend took them away I nearly bust out crying. But he got me my iron supplements and took me to sonic to get ice and a lemon flavored drink after lol
