I agree with tresksy! If you are craving non food items you really should talk to your Dr. your body is missing something and they can help figure out what that is. Its just like eating dirt normally means low iron (normally how I know kind is low). Don't stress over it or feel bad but honestly talk to your ladies' doctors!

Here is an article about pica and pregnancy

I should mention the ladies commenting about weird food cravings...however weird they may seem,they're normal to some extent!

Eating non food is pica. It's not great for you at all. Lint is a fairly common one too. Seriously,Google it.
I'm not trying to make fun of anyone,or hurt anyone's feelings, just trying to help!

at four months I was eating individual butter packs at work. Luckily that craving went away so maybe yours will as well.

Oh honey, that's not a craving that's pica. It's a disorder. Usually means a nutritional deficiency of some sort. Be sure to tell your doctor. Don't be embarrassed. Do some googling... get some info!
