I craved dirt with a vengeance!!! I did some research and apparently many, many years ago it was the norm for pregnant women to eat it. Something to do with building up the immune system! So maybe it isn't that weird, just some deep instilled instinct.]]> Sat, 13 Feb 2010 14:41:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31587&PID=936250&title=craving-non-foods#936250 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31587&PID=935963&title=craving-non-foods#935963 Author: Kellz

I craved ice majorly- I made tray after tray each day and crunched my way through it all- at least 2-3 trays worth a day, sometimes more. The craving started at around 30 weeks preg, and stopped as soon as Aiden was born.]]> Sat, 13 Feb 2010 08:58:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31587&PID=935963&title=craving-non-foods#935963 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31587&PID=935896&title=craving-non-foods#935896 Author: Nutella

I was working in a pet shop and there was a huge sack of charcoal/carbon for fish filters. I loved sniffing that sooooo much.

I didn't have cravings to eat 'non food' stuff, but I did have cravings for smells...petrol, fly spray, baby talc (I was often found with talc around my nose and on my clothes), chalk dust etc etc. I did try to refrain from sniffing these things, but I would do things like wind my windows down when DH was filling up the car.]]> Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:57:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31587&PID=935795&title=craving-non-foods#935795 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31587&PID=935694&title=craving-non-foods#935694 Author: BeLoved

I read an article about the sponge one, this lady would buy sea sponges so at least they were good for her. What are the nutrients in dirt?

Some of these are pretty funny love it!
Forgot to go to the supermarket so am still short on carrots, but don't quite have the urge to go bury my face in the dirt just yet. I remember eating dirt when I was a kid so maybe thats got something to do with it.

I didn't crave dirt or anything too bizarre but when I was pregnant with Sam I constantly craved toothpaste and I thought about it from the minute I woke up until I went to bed at night. I brushed my teeth like 15 times a day sometimes, until my gums would bleed. If I wasn't brushing my teeth I was just eating toothpaste out of the tube. ]]> Thu, 11 Feb 2010 22:43:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31587&PID=934507&title=craving-non-foods#934507 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31587&PID=934492&title=craving-non-foods#934492 Author: High9
