Normally when tour body craves something unusual it's because your body is lacking something. I would go to the doctor and talk to them about it because your body is probobaly lacking something it needs and that's why your craving sponges
How do I stop myself craving sponges!?
When I was little I'd sit there in the bath and chew a sponge. I wouldn't swallow it though. I'd suck the water out of it and chew it until it went all mushy. I thought I'd grown out of it. Since being pregnant ITS COME BACK!!! I cannot stop chewing sponges. It's driving me insane! It's getting worse! I get upset if I have no sponge to chew. I'm getting to the point where I'm stealing clean kitchen sponges out my mums cupboard and chewing them! I'm sat on my bed chewing one right now. I can't help myself. It's like I'm addicted! I found out from my grandma that when her mum was pregnant she craved coal? Maybe crazy cravings just run in my family😕 someone please help me!! I'm 22 weeks + 5 days.

Oh lordy, you have pica. You're not alone. I had it after I went through my miscarriage. I craved soap, could not get enough of it. Turns out I was lacking iron, which isn't surprising. I got onto an iron supplement and that fixed me right up! When you lack a vitamin or mineral you may crave something that has no nutrition what so ever. You just need to figure out what you're not getting in your diet and fix it 😊
