I'm 32+5 an I've been craving baby powder lately its like I'm addicted to it. I know its not good but I really can't help it I'm really in need of some advice plz anything will help

Ok so I did a bit of research for you and it dies have toxins. In a study of animals eating talc they developed tumors. It also had carcinogenic chemicals in. The powder is bad for your and babies lungs. It contains zinc but nit the good kind. Try finding something.else you could eat that contains healthy zinc. See if that helps however I would see a different doc..one that will help you stop . i hope this helped x

I told my ob when I saw her last Thursday but all she said was to stop eating it. Its not as easy as it seems to stop because I'm trying

Try keeping it out of your house, throw it all away. Allot of people are starting to not use it nowadays anyways because its not good for babies to breathe that powder in. im not sure how you treat pica, but i think its because your lacking in a certain vitamin/mineral? Im not positive. but get a new doctor if your current one isn't helpful.

Craving inedible things is called pica. You should see a dictor as obviously ingesting baby powder would be dangerous.
