Possibly the weirdest craving ever-or maybe not?

Your not alone,
I didn't have it but a girl I worked with had a Pica with her last pregnancy too, her craving was dirt, she said there were times when she actually ate some out of the indoor plant in her house!!! She said the cravings were so strong that she would do it without really thinking about what she was actually doing...At least you only have a few weeks to go...When did the cravings start?

Pandora- I took your advice and posted to the naturopath, she says that it is probably a mineral deficiency and/or lack of iron. Will talk it over with the Dr this weeks.

PinnyMum- It has been a week of two now. How funny that your friend indulged! My craving isn't for moist dirt thank goodness - it needs to be dry dusty stoney!

lol,

I think I might be the weird one hear, I am low on iron and I crave orange juice, probably because it helps you absorb any iron,

and this time around I'm not tollerating dairy very well, but when my body really needs it I crave custard, & yogo.

If it helps your craving, sometimes green leafy's taste a bit like dirt!, well tey do to me anyway! all those crazy different lettuces & spinaches.
