Weird urges...don't laugh lol

I have uncontrollable urges to sniff markers, nail polish remover and gasoline. Every time I am pumping gas or at a gas station my mouth waters?? My sister was making a poster for school and she was using permanent markers and it took everything for me not to try smelling them lol...My family thinks it's funny but is there any reason I should be concerned or is it just a weird pregnancy thing?  FTM 33weeks

Your body is most likely lacking something. I love the smell of cleaning supplies and at 39 weeks I am nesting so I smell it a lot but keep the rooms well ventilated lol I would mention it to your doctor though.

Omg Yes. Cleaning products smell so amazing to me right now. When I go grocery shopping I make it a point to go down the cleaning supplies isle even if I don't need anything. Tide pods and fabuloso are by far the best smelling ones ever. And no I am not sniffing them enough to cause harm to me or baby before you chicks start being the super advice givers you are. Lmao.
