EVERYONE, preggers or not, are allowed hot chips, with salt, AND hosed down in vinegar (for me anyhow) just once in a while

Can't help with your cravings except to say, hang in there and as others have said, try alternatives.

As for unusual cravings, a friend of mine craved cement throughout most of her pregnancy. Yep, CEMENT! We couldn't find an alternative so she ended up sucking on a small block of cement! Plus we thought her body might be craving calcium? Only thing we could think of that might be "in" cement that her body would need. So she upped her calcium intake as well. She said it wasn't exactly what she wanted (she wanted to EAT the cement) but it did the trick. It was SO weird and she was so embarrassed by the whole thing.

LOL at Leasha and the soap not tasting as good as it smells. I can imagine so...
