baby powder
I'm really craving baby powder and I don't have any! I'm about to go crazy!
Go to the store and sniff it lol
Idea: I don't know if it'll work and I've honestly never experienced the need to smell something so intensely, but maybe try getting a non scented laundry detergent and putting baby powder in it so your clothes smell like it? Just a thought. :)

Omg! I thought I was the only person this happened to! I crave the smell of baby powder sooo bad all the time! I sprinkle a little bit on my materess before I put the sheets on so my bed smells like it. And I use it in my hair as a dry shampoo and in my shoes. I'm obsessed.
That and new car smell, my sister works at a car dealership and I've literally stopped in to see her just to sit in a new car and smell it.

Ok lol thats great. I dont think its really necessary to inform your doc then. I was just concerned because I thought you were eating it. My friend ate it regularly and ended up having pica. Hope u get ur smell crave satisfied soon ;)Take care :)

If your just craving it, thats one thing but if youre actually consuming it, then its better to infkrm a medical professional.
Just a suggestion. Not everyone is the same so its not normal for everyone. Its better to check just in case.
Oh and my first was healthy never been to the e.r and she is 15 months for dramatic people who may say omg your baby will be deformed and sick lol
It could just be a craving with my first I was craving baby powder and I had to have it and I did it also helped me be stress free I talked to my doctor she said it's fine long as it's a certain amount not like a whole bottle a day lol and I did not have pica I thought I did which is why I asked her but yea it could just be something you want with this pregnancy I'm kinda the same way but I'm so busy I dnt have time to think about it I just love the dust from dirt and powdery things and my job has a lot of it and I love it but I stay away from it or I wear a mask since I work at home depot and they will kill me if I dnt lol my co workers are very protective
It's normal . I was craving too for a while .. I still do but it's not as strong and my iron has been just fine all through my pregnancy . I never ate it tho cause I tasted it and it was gross lol so I just stuck to smelling it
I highly suggest you tell your OB about this. Yes women crave weird things during pregnancy but things such as baby powder,dirt, etc can be a sign that you have something called PICA. Its really not good to eat that hun.
Talk to your doctor your experiencing pica and it's not all that good for you or your baby.
