Chemical smell cravings??

Question

I’m 26+4 ftm. The past few days I’ve craved the smell of bleach, mop water, detergent, chlorine.. I want to take huge whiffs of chemicals, especially bleach. I’m not going to but I want to really bad! I’ve tried chewing ice chips, it doesn’t help. Every time I get a glass of water I want it smell like chemicals. Super weird!

Answer

You should get your iron checked. I craved laundry detergent and cleaning solutions when I was pregnant with my second child. Of course, I never gave in to that but it got so bad that it was all I could think about. Called the nurse and she said it was probably something called pica due to low iron levels. It got some better when I began supplementing but completely disappeared when the baby was born.

Answer

Yup. And I'm severely anemic... lol
