Eating dirt!

[Mommy2x2]

Can eating dirt become a problem in my pregnany I don't swallow it I put it in my mouth & spit it out but chew the left overs. Sometimes it's soothing to me. Need advice!

You have PICA and are lacking vitamines and minerals.

Omg girl, same here. Dirt and ice. The smell of it just gets me going. It's always been a habit though. Lol

Tell your doctor right away. It usually means you're iron deficient.

That could be a problem especially if it is a new symptom. You could be low on certain nutrients or vitamins you need. If it's old habits then be worried about germs, bacteria, parasites and foreign objects that can be in the dirt.

Yes, you should contact your doctor. It means that you are lacking in iron!

Thank you!! It's so hard because when I'm outside or smell dirt after it rains I just want to eat it!!

Try eating iron rich foods because it sounds like you have pica

[haleyblossom]

Yes. You might be ingesting cat pee or any animals urine
