Craving Baby Powder.

[Tanner0813]

I have a habit of eating J&J baby powder. Does anyone else crave Johnson John son's baby powder during pregnancy?

Not powder, but mmm sand sounds good .. ): lol I craved dirt, but switched to crunching on rocks. So weird!

That is called pica, when you crave items that are not ment to be eaten. Its important to tell your doctor. It is a common condition in pregnancy. There is an article on yahoo about pica today and you can Google it. I would make sure to talk to your doctor though, you could be lacking some minerals that you body is craving.

Thank you. I've eaten it before I became pregnant, but it's even worse now.

Usually when you crave non food items it means your body is missing some nutrients. You might want to talk with your doctor.
