I had this awful craving to eat leather goods but the smell used to make me vomit and I was like this until I was actually in labour with all three of my children..oh I tell a lie with my second daughter I craved for sherbet dips with the liquorice straw.

Sorry but yours are potentially dangerous cravings and I would talk to either your nurse or doctor before it becomes reality and dangerous.
Reply:What you are experiencing is called "pica", and may actually be a vitamin deficiency. Talk to your OB.
Reply:My ex used to have that when she was pregnant...would find her hanging out in the garage...Its weird and im not sure why it happens. May have to do with a mineral deficiency. Anyway talk to your doctor.
Reply:Honey you need to STOP sniffing odd things! Talk to your doctor! Those toxins you are sniffing could harm your little one and you do not want that! STOP IMEDIATELY and call your doctor!
Reply:you need to talk to your doctor and get your iron levels checked.
Reply:you need to go to your doctor seriously. If you have dangerous cravings they can help with that
Reply:A friend of mine used to have cravings for the smell of petrol. That was back in the '70's and it wasn't a good thing then! I had no dangerous cravings....I would eat bags and bags of chocolate covered peanuts!!!! Please do not go down the route of petrol, polish, or anything else in this day and age that you crave (you would not know what the harm might do to you and your baby). Don't be fed up with being pregnant. Be blessed! The odd craving comes to us all. Shoe polish-no. Good luck with you and your pregnancy. x
Reply:oh my god I'm like that i got my husband to wipe round the petrol tank with a hanky its such a weird thing to crave i love going to the petrol station!!!! good luck
