I heard if ur craving things that arent food stuffs and are potentially harmful, its because ur body is craving some sort of mineral that could be in that item?? Although im not sure. U hear of coal, shoe polish, and one i heard recently....sponges? But like i said, not sure how true that is about the mineral? early on i craved marmite, and these salad pots they sell at my work, but apart from that? Ask ur midwife if ur concerned :)

my mother in law said she could have drank the petrol out of the pump everytime she filled the car up that was in both her pregnancies, my boyfriend has a strange sense of humour and can be a bit stubborn at times but apart from that he and his brother are both fine lol
