Weird craving.

[Uwimana012410]

So I've been craving dirt for weeks. My fiancé thinks I'm crazy but I'm really going crazy & tempted to eat some. Would eating dirt be harmful to my baby?

I just looked up bean sprouts because I was curious and it says DONT eat them because they can contain E. Coli and Salmonella poisoning !

Dont eat Bean sprouts.. that was one of the things my doctor told me to not eat .. and I didnt even ask her about them .. I forgot why but its not good for your baby

[StassiMarie]

You should tell your doctor about this.  It's called pica,  & it usually means low iron

[missb94]

Yes, don't eat it! Maybe try and find some kind of food that has an earthy taste? It might help your craving and won't be harmful to you or your bubba :)

Sound's like Pica. Yes that would be bad and usually means that there is a vitamin deficiency somewhere. Let your Dr know about it so your levels can be checked out

[SamanthaUresti]

I dont think dirt would be a good idea but talk to your doctor about maybe having a deficiency in a vitamin so you can start taking something for it

Probably because that's unsanitary.
