Oh honey, that's not a craving that's pica. It's a disorder. Usually means a nutritional deficiency of some sort. Be sure to tell your doctor. Don't be embarrassed. Do some googling... get some info!

at four months I was eating individual butter packs at work. Luckily that craving went away so maybe yours will as well.
for two months now I've been eating Pillsbury self rising flour what wrong with me I'm due Dec 28
I should mention the ladies commenting about weird food cravings...however weird they may seem,they're normal to some extent!
Eating non food is pica. It's not great for you at all. Lint is a fairly common one too. Seriously,Google it.
I'm not trying to make fun of anyone,or hurt anyone's feelings, just trying to help!

Omgoodness! Darn censors. American pregnancy!
I agree with tresksy! If you are craving non food items you really should talk to your Dr. your body is missing something and they can help figure out what that is. Its just like eating dirt normally means low iron (normally how I know kind is low). Don't stress over it or feel bad but honestly talk to your ladies' doctors!

Thank you so much ladies! I have a dr's appointment on Monday and I will certainly bring it up. In the mean time, i'll stay out of the dryer.
