Eating baking soda?

Question

I'm preggers and I have a weird thing for textures. I like powder like textures. I've literally been eating spoonfuls of baking soda from the box. I've finished one box in the span of two months. Are you even supposed to eat that?! Don't hate. Is it bad for me??

Eating baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is actually I do for your health.

BUT only when dissolved in other liquids/foods, like if you just drank some dissolved in water.
