Apparently you can still buy it!

This is all really interesting I haven't wanted to eat any weird stuff (I agree with whoever said it's a good diea to chat to your GP or midwife btw) but I've gone a bit mad when it comes to smells! My DH is rather of the opinion that I've gone odd(er) but after reading this and I'm not alone, I'm normal! lol

I adore the smell of soap, cut grass (which usually makes me heave but not pregnant apparantly!), petrol, a mouse mat made of old types that my FIL gave us, the car engine/bonnet when it's hot, and bleach absolutely makes me swoon in delight!

We were in Tesco once early in my pregnancy and I felt pretty sick (I had horrid morning sickness) I just stuck my face in the baby powder, couldn't stop myself! DH was mortified but I felt so much less sick! After that DH bought me a bottle to sniff excitedly!

After reading this I'm looking forward to creosoting the fence!

the second baby ..all i wanted was the smell of oranges
third... anything lavender... who knows, but my dd (2) loves to eat oranges by the bucket load.

Just be glad your first doesn't crave cleanser! :rotfl:

Hahaha, this has made me laugh soo much. People keep asking if I have cravings and I keep saying no, but it looks like it might just be too early for me (22weeks). I want a really strange one like some of the ones on here!

It's so nice when you realise that actually despite helpful comments form DH I am totally normal. In fact much more normal than some of the rest of you!:D

Thanks for all the replies - keep them coming they are making me laugh and I'm at that stage of pregnancy where I am fed up with everything and everyone so you are all helping to pass the time.:T :T :T

Managed to only eat a handful of bubbles out of the bath last night. :rotfl:

I loved the smell of petrol and would walk purposely passed the local petrol station delightfully sniffing the petrol fumes.

me too, but i also wanted to drink it :eek: , never did though although the temptation was BAD.

I also used to crave the smell of sulpha, and used to strike and blow out matches then sniff got through boxes of them

Good luck

Im glad to say i havent had any wierd cravings, to be honest none at all that i can think of.

My sister had the 'chewing sponge' thing going on-i find it all really odd!

I doubt ill understand unless i go through it too!

Lol!!!! Sorry all - I had to come in and have a giggle at you all!!! Saying that, I haven't got any kids yet so it will probably come and bite me on my bum - I can see it now, being 7months pregnant with marker pens in one hand, bar of soap in the other and dissappearing into the garage to sniff some creosote!!!!

I remember reading a story once (Take a break I think) about a woman who craved petrol - not only did she used to stand in the petrol station inhaling deeply, she also used to dip an old rag in it and keep it in her pocket and occassionally suck on the rag!!!!!!!
