wet dirt :(

[Joceey]

I really love the smell of it, and I really just want to eat wet dirt ughh its soo annoying but i really want it :( anyone else have those weird cravings? haha i really want dirt its torturing meeeeeeeeeeeeee. D:

[Joceey]

the thing is I take iron so Im pretty sure its not iron
but I'll still ask.

Craving anything inedible is a sign of pica

Just because yu didn't have low iron doesn't mean yu don't now, many women develop anemia in the 3rd trimester.  I did :/ I didn't crave dirt but I ate ice like crazy...who knows maybe its just a weird pregnancy thing!

[Joceey]

omg that actually sounds very appealing to my mouthh!
jsut feeling the cookies crumbleeee. yuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmm

thanks @gatorgrl12 :) might just get it !!!!!!!!!

[gatorgrl12]

Maybe head over to bask in robins or carnival and get one of those mud pie ice cream things with cookies (dirt) on top and gummy worms hanging out ;) gosh that sounds so yummy!

[Lissaleigh]

[KTowne]

[ashtom]

Yes! U need to talk to ur doc. That is a sign of PICA!!!

[GordonBaby]

DO NOT EAT DIRT WOMAN!!! Sounds like ya may have some PICA goin on. Your body may want/need something, but dirt isn't the answer dear!

Not always, but craving dirt can be a sign of iron deficiency. When I first went to the Dr my nurse told me to let them know if I was craving it, and they would check just in case

[jcruz12]

Yessss ! I have been craving compex ? & its a cleaning powder.  I want it all the time . I cant stop myself from it.  But I told my midwife & I guess low iron causes us to crave these weird things . I have very low iron maybe its true ?

[MrsCookii]

I was like that my first pregnancy and when I told my doctor she said when we crave things like that it means im lacking some type of vitamin and I was. So talk to your doctor about it
