Could you please post a post asking about extremely weird pregnancy cravings? I’m 35 weeks pregnant and have craved Dettol Pino Cleen and Tegel Shampoo. I could smell them all day. I have not drunk them due to the risk, obviously. But 100% would if I could. I couldn’t stand the smell of Tgel shampoo prior to pregnancy. I’ve been diagnosed with Pica, and I am anemic and have mineral deficiencies, and the Drs believe this is why I’m craving such random things.

To me honest, alot of the time, when anyone pregnant or not is craving a nonfood item, they are likely lacking nutrients and your body could be trying to tell you something. Seeing that you’re doctor told you this already that he’s probably right. Did you know, even when you crave certain actual foods, your body does the same thing? Trying to tell you what your body is lacking when the cravings are intense and prolonged. Your blood is the same as the fluids in your car. Take care of it or it will cause more significant issues.
I craved sniffing rubbing Alcohol and eating ice?
Not myself, but i know a girl who used to eat vapour rub🥴
Smell of pinesol, kiwi shoe shine, rain and fresh laundry.
To eat, ice.
Worcestershire sauce and the feel of preparing meat 
Mine was morning fresh original
For pica it would involve eating not just smelling.
Milk , liters on liters and i got soooooo fat 
Paper towels 
… I need iron infusions for my anemia lol
But only the bar soap
I only craved dark chocolate and stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon and grapes. I would get up middle of night and eat all of it. I was huge
Anything but meats. And my baby is 5 mo old. And I still can’t eat meat unless I’m craving it.
Eat things that have natural minerals like beets fresh ones that you bake in the oven. Kills the cravings of dirt. My mom use to crave biting tires. My grandpa would put a handkerchief over the tires so she could bite the heck outta it. She says it was super satisfying.
Clean laundry makes my mouth water

Spring onions dipped in strawberry yogurt. Boiled eggs in tomato soup.

I had HG so food & smells either made me nauseated or vomit. However I was obsessed with Pine-Sol (I used it to clean but didn’t spend any extra time smelling it though I wanted to), especially the last month. Idk if it was due to my daughter being born with before Christmas or what but I still love the scent when I used to hate it.

I loved the smell of new tires and my husband works at a Big o tires and he would come home and just hand me his dirty shirt off his back and I’d smell it for hours before I put it to wash for the night. Ice and snow were major cravings too I would eat a lot of ice throughout the day

For some reason I would have cravings for bath water 
I would never consume it but when I would take a bath I remember thinking wow this smells so good and was always tempted to drink it straight from the faucet. I’m glad that went away once I gave birth lol
Mine was like threads. Like straight up threads from towels, shirts, blankets id bite the hemming off shirts and clothing like from the seams and eat it. So weird lol here i was severely anemic and got a couple iron infusions and now i dont do that anymore.
My first pregnancy I would wet a corner of a towel and sucK the water out. It was satisfying and tasted so good. That was it tho. No other weird cravings.
When I was pregnant with my second daughter I got cravings or a feeling like I wanted to eat raw chicken or meat when I was cutting it up or cooking. I never did it but I sometimes still get the thought when cutting chicken in particular. I also at ice non stop we lived around the corner from a Mac Donald’s I would go 3-4 times a day just to get a large cup of ice and eat as it was the best ice to crunch.
I really want to chew on air freshners for cars. Also love the smell of like a garage or shop.
I had PICA really badly when I wasn’t pregnant. I wanted to eat a candle I had. I ended up caving after a few months of thinking about it non stop.
Not me - but my mum had PICA, she used to boil flannels and suck/chew them.
Ajax. And Gasoline. I hated the gas smell before. But damn I loved it when I was pregnant. I smelled it so much it made me wanna eat it (ajax) tho I didn’t. Man did I want to
With my first pregnancy I would crave a certain toliet paper… clean of course. I would let the sheet get wet on my tongue and I would chew on it until it broke down… since then no other cravings
Bleach, ice , orange pinesol was my favorite.
Purex laundry detergent the powder I never ate it but o I loved to sit and stir it up to smell it now ugh 
No nothing like that just crab legs and boils and my baby loved seafood started to eat it at 6 months went out to eat without her yesterday. She was with dad smelled my left overs pointed to the container and finished it off. She’s 19 months now and I know I introduced her to food all types they say hold off on but I believe that sooner those things are introduced the less likely she is to develop allergies she eats all types of fruit veggies and peanut butter.
Chicken parmigiana, pasta / parm cheese.
Everything bagel with bacon and Swiss, hot coffee.

I couldn’t get enough ice when I was pregnant with my son. I was anemic and needed iron. With my daughter, I craved tomatoes. Ate them all day. Dr said I was craving nicotine. Apparently tomatoes have nicotine in them. I do not smoke and never have.
Dirt… Musty smell… Weird one
I ate sand both pregnancies lol
I’ve delt with PICA with a few patients over the years. Stay strong momma! Ask about the IV vitamin/mineral infusion bars and if they are safe during pregnancy, my friend works at work and I’ve heard great things! I want a migraine prevention infusion so bad!
Chewing on a wet sponge for me. I don’t eat it, but I’ll sit in the shower and just chew on it for a little while

I had a horrible addiction to smelling the gain moping stuff and the lemon lysol cleaner and cascade powder dishwashing powder. I had no idea why but i had to smell it all the time. I had several bottle thru out house so i could smell whenever. It was also how i figured out i was pregnant with my second. Luckily this pregnancy is pretty normal.

Cascade Dishwasher pods, pine sol and the purple fabuloso i would sit and smell them made the mistake of licking the dishwasher pack and it burnt my tongue and had to hurry and wash it off lmao didnt do that again but continued to smell them all
SAND!!! I legit wanted to eat dirt, sand, all of that. Now I never did, and decided on just eating ice tea mix cause of the texture. When I told my OB, he goes "well, not great but way better than eating dirt and sand, so go ahead!" When I was 6/7m pregnant we went camping and that was the hardest trip ever with all the dirt and sand around me:joy: Thank God that went away once I gave birth.
I craved ice really bad when I was pregnant with both boys.
Currently pregnant with my third and with all 3 I craved alcohol wipes. It got better with each pregnancy it’s definitely not as bad this time as it was the first. I did not have PICA though. It’s interesting to read all these weird cravings though!

The doctor should be doing labs to see what vitamins minerals ect that you are lacking and giving you supplements. As long as you dont give in and drink it and recognize that it’s not healthy you will be fine!!
