Thanks for your advice ladies! Good thing they don't sell it nearby and yes my iron level is low so today the doc told me to start taking iron tablets which i hate! But anything for my little princess

My sister when she was pregnant told me that she would always crave soap. She couldn't figure out what it was but the smell of the soap made her want to eat it. She never ate it but oddly craved it!
