Hey ladies, I was just wondering if any of you have weird/odd cravings for non-food items? Like, detergent, dish soap and lemon Pinesaw(sp), those are my cravings.
Does anyone know what causes this? It gets really bad at times for me. Should I be worried? Should I tell my doctor? My mouth waters really bad as well because of it. I'm 33 weeks and 4 days, by the way :)Thanks

You need to call your doctor because craving non-food items normally means you have some sort of deficiency. Whether it be iron or protein or whatever.
