I really have the urge to drink my shower gel...and my shampoo and face wash! Actually any soaps! I luuurrrrvvveee how fresh they smell and I just stand in the shower for ages enjoying the fresh aromas. When I accidentally get some in my mouth, it is obviously horrid and I don't feel like drinking it then....but THE SMELL...ahhhhhh could sniff it in all day long!!

Have used the same products for ages and never had this appreciation of them before

I watched this thing on youtube about a woman eating corn flour when she was pregnant..

But I think it's something you miss in your body that makes you crave for weird things..

I know you girls haven't eat or drank any and that's good! lol!

Mention this to your midwife. This is called pica and can be a sign of low iron.

I crave for FAG ASH !!!! It smells so nice, before anything to do with fags would make me feel sick. I'm tempted to taste but it's disgusting so I'm not going to !!

Mildew, old wet towels. I go CRAZY over it and I'm lucky theres nothing that you can really EAT in that form. I do suck on the towel sometimes though. Ughhh I want to go smell one right NOW!! I haven't had ANY food cravings besides ice.

and yes this could indicate pica so mention it! My levels are good though, I'm just weird.

SOAP!

It's actually uncontrolable I obsessively wash my hands and also have many sponge baths a day. Accidentally given myself a bit of a problem down there due to obsessive soap use...very uncomfortable.

I won't allow myself to eat it but I lick the bubbles or get bits stuck under my nails which I suck. A few times i've got carried away and had to wash my mouth out... I sort of do it without thinking!

One time i've ended up munching on a whole bar and it was such a relief but I spent half an hour rinsing my mouth out making sure I didn't swallow any. I really don't know why I do it!!!!

Midwife isn't worried, overall I am very healthy!

I've got quite an impressive soap collection now though....hope this makes you feel better lol! Pregnancy is weird!!!

Holy cow im craving soap now!!!
