Cravings get more intense the closer I get!

Most mamas experience extreme cravings earlier in their pregnancies. Mine get worse the closer I get to labor, and it’s not even food. It’s PICA cravings (my hemoglobin is fine, OB said that my body and brain are just weird 😅). I had the same thing happen with my last pregnancy.

I want to smoke despite trying like…2 cigarettes in my entire life. I want the feeling of smoke and steam in my lungs. I want to huff laundry detergent, gasoline, and diesel. I legit will follow behind a diesel truck for miles and just breathe it in. And the crushed ice! This is a common one, but oh my Lordddd. I’m getting ready to walk into my hospital job and I cannot wait for the ice chips that are meant for patients but will 100% be going in my body. I also saw edible chalk on Amazon the other day and I was SO close to ordering some.

Am I alone in this?
