Answer 3

Like Guest5597416 said, its called PICA, consult your physician. Many women suffer from this "disease/disorder". There is nothing wrong with you. As your body changes, you may begin to feel like doing things or eating things that you wouldnt normally eat. I am 26 weeks pregnant and quite blessed to not have gotten any form PICA. My mother could only eat red peppers when she was pregnant for me, again, something not too normal so the severity of this disorder varies. I would advise you to consult your physician they would better assist you in this matter.

All the best of the blessings to you and your unborn :)

AMK

Answer 4

Actually to eat anything that isn't an actual food, ie talcum powder, crayons, raw flour, etc is an eating disorder called pica.  I'd encourage you to consult your doctor.  They'd know better than anonymous strangers on the internet.
