Pica (non food cravings)
"Anna.Nicole.m" wrote in message ups.com... Anyone else have this. I look at dirt and rocks lately and think they look appetizing. Wow I sound like a real freak. I'm sure it's my body telling me that I'm lacking something. but what? Anyone else. Thanks for not instantly thinking I'm a fruit loop Definitely let your doctor know about this. Some women do get it but it is a sign that you are deficient in something. I can't remember whether it is something specific or not but you need to be checked out when you are craving non food items. |

Seems a few people have said something similar, which brings me to ask... What about smells? What if you have a major problem with smells and wanting to smell things that probably aren't good to smell and things that normally you don't like the smell of, but while pg, you just *love* those smells... Is that something to bring up with the doc? Does that mean you're deficient in something or just have some major issues? |

I don't know the answer to that one sorry, but it would be worthwhile for someone to raise that question. I just remember Pica being mentioned in naturopathy classes and it wasn't considered a good thing. |

Thanks for not instantly thinking I'm a fruit loop After getting your iron level checked, get some of those Jelly Belly Bertie Botts or Ant Bully Sweet Rock jelly beans. They come in flavors like dirt, earthworm, grass, etc. |

Thank you everyone for not making me feel like a complete weirdo.
I am going to talk to my midwife about it at my next appointment on Tuesday. I mentioned something to my grandmother about it and she reminded me, that as a child I used to eat packs of matches and rocks and dirt all the time. Hopefully there is no association between the two, but if there is then it appears it maybe more psychological then deficiency. Last blood work came back that I had more then ample amounts of iron in my system, but it maybe something else like magnesium or something like that. i have to say the anonymity of the internet is a wonderful thing. I could never imagine sitting around a table discussing this with my friends who are pregnant now |
