Why am I craving ice and moth balls lol am I crazy for craving moth balls

The gummy prenatals usually dont contain iron. I take the gummies too but also an iron supplement because im anemic. Check to see if they have iron.

Okay thanks

Its said that women who are pregnant usually crave some supplement thats lacking with your diet in that specific food/drink. Dont know how this info really helps, but maybe try figuring out what supplement you need more of.

I take prenatal gummy is that good for that??

Craving ice means you are low in iron so it you have iron supplements At home I would start taking them ASAP

Could be an iron deficiency. Check with your doctor.

Im not lol I jus found that weird and wanted to know if I was the only one  who craves crazy things

Try to avoid mothballs craving, because it is a nerotoxin and they can be fatal

[dallasfantiara]

Lls I don't know I think I want to smell it then eat it I really what so mothballs bad

[dallasfantiara]

Lls I'll Google it I'm craving new shoes too I guess the smell I don't know smh

[newmama21]

lol how the heck do you crave moth balls? have you eaten one before or just crave the taste of what they smell like

[kerriekab]

It's a condition called Pica where you crave non-food items. It's common in pregnancy. Google it if you want more info. I wouldn't recommend eating moth balls though lol.

[dallasfantiara]

Thank u again

[Destynee2015]

Oh good, I hope everything goes well. Take care :)

[dallasfantiara]

Thank u I don't have any moth balls jus craving them won't get them I jus started craving them for some strange reason and OK I have an appointment on the 14th I'll bring it up then

[Destynee2015]

Also, be careful. Idk if youve actually eaten them or what but just smelling them alone is very harmful because they contain naphthalene which can be toxic in many ways to you.

[Destynee2015]

You may be perfectly fine so i dont want to make assumptions however, a good friend of mine craved same thing and ended up having PICA. With PICA, you will crave a lot of things that are non food items and your body is most likely lacking a certain nutrient. Id let your doc know to be safe. Take care
