Why am I craving baking soda?

Question

I don't eat it but I put it in my mouth and spit it out. It tastes sooooo good. Why? I understand that it's pica but what am I missing in my diet that makes me want to eat it?

Answer

This usually means your body is lacking something. I would let your dr know. I bet they do bloodwork to see if you are lacking any essential vitamins.

Answer

Sometimes its just a random craving. I have pica as well, i tend to eat sponges lol but i dont have an iron deficiency or anything. My dr  explained it as sometimes pregnancy is just weird.
