Pica- the weirdest symptoms everrrr
I have had the weirdest pregnancy... For the past two months I've had the most intense cravings for crushed ice! Snow, sand, piles of dirt, and laundry detergent have all looked incredibly appealing to eat as well! 😳 Last week I found out I'm anemic, and someone today mentioned that intense ice cravings can be from really low iron!! I did some further research and these bizarre cravings are actually a condition that is common in anemic pregnant women!!!! It's called "Pica"! pregnancy is SO weird!!!!! I would seriously eat an entire box of laundry detergent if I wouldn't die from it 🙈 lol
