Weird cravings...

[Lauren25xx]

I'm 32+1 and for the past couple of weeks I've been obsessed with sponges! I don't want to eat them or anything but I love making it all soapy and foamy😳 I feel so silly right now.... I've started to become obsessed with cleaning to the point where I got up at 7am this morning and started cleaning my fridge because I couldn't stop thinking about my sponge😂

Is this really not normal? What if I end up wanting to eat them?

Does anyone else feel the same? I also absolutely love brushing my teeth... Obviously it's something I do daily anyway but I just love it🙄Ahhhhh x

That is funny I haven't had weird cravings per se, but I have become much more attached to certain rituals. For a while, I HAD to eat two crackers and drink a small glass of milk before bed or else I couldn't sleep. It didn't really make sense but I was super attached to this routine. Also other rituals in the morning seem to become more important. Maybe I have a touch of OCD and its just coming out with the hormones... Its nothing too serious though.

If I were you, if you do start wanting to eat the sponges, you should probably tell the doctor. They say that can happen during pregnancy and I think they will do something to help you.

Loool thats so cute!! I wish i would get the energy or the love of a sponge to clean More! But on a serious note if you do feel like eating it you should call ur doc, i think they say its a deficiency in something that leads to weird cravings

Sounds like ocd. I color arranged all the hangers in all the closets on Sunday. I'm a bit controlling when I'm not pregnant. You should have seen the rage at the grocery lady for not bagging my groceries up the way I set them out. I wanted to scream. I didn't just took it out of her hand. I think it's normal... or hormonal growing another human being normal.

I think cleaning the fridge sounds like a wonderful way to spend some time. But I think I would puke.

Omg I'm so with you on the sponges - I absolutely love the smell of them, coated in lemon washing up liquid all soapy I could just smell it all day long, sometimes I even think it would be a thirst quencher to suck on but I haven't gone that far just yet ha! Any lemony cleaning products in fact I just love..

Yes! I'm so glad you posted this lol. I'm 33 weeks 5 days and for about a week have been weirdly into sponges, I feel like such a weirdo I'm glad it's not just me. I can't stop thinking about sucking on wet sponges - I even went and bought a new bath sponge yesterday to suck on but when I tried it was like it wasn't how I imagined or what I was craving and I just felt like a freak? Lol! Another thing that's started is an obsession with ice cubes, I've heard a lot of other women crunch them and I never understood it... Then all this week I've been eating about 4 trays of it a day. I've had a hugely stressful week so I'm thinking that may have triggered it?
