Answer

You should talk to your doctor, but it’s actually pretty common occurrence during pregnancy.

Answer

Your not alone hun with my 1st I brought new bath sponges all the time as I used to crave chewing/sucking clean water through them. It was the weirdest craving I had. Thankfully I didn’t want to eat it but like the texture in my mouth.. 😂

Answer

Not weird totally normal. I don’t have it. But it can be an indicator of low iron or missing a nutrient you need. You can request blood work from your ob to try and figure it out :)

Answer

Definitely talk to your doctor!!

Answer

It started off wanting to eat dust but quickly moved to carpet freshener powder. I havent acted on either. I want to so very badly--the carpet powder, not dust, lol. I love the smell and the look of the texture. I havent touched it w my hands bc im afraid ill give in and eat it.
