Yw it sounds like an iron deficiency. I would either eat food with higher levels of iron or take an iron supplement.

I have the same problem except i crave dirt. I had this problem my first pregnancy and now my second thats how i knew my iron was low. Ive been taking my iron pills regularly and the craving is slowly going away.

It's called "pica," and it's often a symptom of anemia (low iron) during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about these cravings right away as he/she may recommend taking an iron supplement.
