    WEIRD cravings...

    Hey all!

    What are the weirdest cravings you've had in pregnancy?

    I thought that my 1st trimester craving of sardines and vegemite on toast was bad. I found myself craving sand yesterday. 8-[ VERY disturbing! Maybe I'm lacking in some kind of mineral or something. For the record, this is one craving I most definately won't be acting on!!!!

    Hi Juliette

    I haven't had any weird cravings as yet, but I think when you crave things like sand, dirt and chalk, you're lacking in calcium. I think.

    I think it's called something when you crave dirt, sand or chalk. I can't remember what it is though. Probably ask your OB at your next appt!!

    I think those odd cravings are called 'pica'?!?

    Strangest craving I've had so far has been for sausages with maple syrup LOL.

    In my pregnancy with Olivia I craved oranges in all forms: orange juice and mandarins etc, but especially "fake" orange like Fanta and orange lollies.
    With her I also used to crave the smell of elastoplasts?!

    In this pregnancy I haven't had too many yet, but so crave the smell of Pine-O-Clean?!

    And Pringles. No, that is not pregnancy related, I hust crave those all the time regardless!

    During my pregnancy i craved kfc chips, oranges, ice, and pear sandwiches!!!

    Craving dirt, sand etc is lacking in something, no sure what though. At my ANC a girl was craving soap. Like she had to lick it to get rid of the craving. Blerk!
