I think it's fairly common. Have a word with your midwife or doctor about it as they may recommend vitamin or mineral supplements. It's called pica.

Don't worry yourself about it! I craved wall plaster and it turned out I was really quite anaemic, so make sure you get some blood tests done and I'm sure you'll find the root cause. I'd suggest resisting temptation though, I know it's difficult but it's the only way to be safe x

Thank you I'll make sure I get the blood test done by next week.

When my mum was pregnant with me she craved charcoal! Definitely agree with these ladies, ask your midwife about it. 😊 x

I'm so over protective About my baby

Bless you! I craved cheese when I was pregnant. Such a boring craving! 😆 x

Craving dirt/soil is a symptom of iron deficiency.

Avoid having any dirt/soil ever as it may contain toxoplasmosis which can harm the baby. Get some good pregnancy supplements, iron should be in these too.
