Sand ??

Has anyone craved sand? I really want to feel it in my mouth and suck on it. Not eat it or anything but just find a beach and roll around in it and put it in my mouth.

Usually when you crave inedible you have picca meaning iron,deficiency. BUT..I use to crave wet dirt and I didn't have anything wrong,with me. (Last pregnancy) so I guess sometimes it's normal . I only craved it like a lil not like I must have it. I've always loved the smell of wet dirt.

I went to the beach the other day & accidentally got some in my mouth when I was eating. I liked it.

What about something similar like Brown sugar or something else that's sort of gritty. I haven't had any weird cravings yet

its pretty common but Maybe you should bring up at your next appointment. Craving non-foods usually mean that you are lacking a certain vitamin...so just double check with your doc.

That's actually not uncommon in pregnancy. But I'm not sure why it happens haha
