This is embarrassing but I keep getting a smell craving for mitti after rain and feel like tasting it. I have not eaten properly but the urge is strong some days. Is this something others felt too?
Oh, I've heard some women crave clay or soil during pregnancy, it's called Pica, right? I personally haven't eaten it, but I did get some really weird cravings too, like for ice. My gynac said to mention any unusual cravings, so if you are craving it, maybe tell your doctor? Just to be safe, you know.
No, sweetie, definitely NOT good to eat clay during pregnancy! 🚫 It's a common craving called Pica, but it's not safe at all. Clay can have harmful stuff like bacteria or chemicals in it. Pls talk to your doctor about this craving right away! They can help you with it and check your iron. Stay safe! 🙏
Okay, so this is called Pica, and it happens to some pregnant women, it's totally normal to crave non-food items sometimes. But NO, it's not good to eat clay. It can be harmful because of bacteria, parasites, or even toxins. Please tell your doctor about this craving, they can help you manage it and check for any nutrient deficiencies.
Eating clay is generally not recommended during pregnancy, dear. It's known as Pica, and while the craving might be strong, it can pose risks like infection or mineral imbalances. Given my PCOS history, I was always extra cautious about everything. It's really important to talk to your doctor about this craving; they can check if you have any nutritional deficiencies that might be causing it and guide you safely.
Absolutely not. My doctor specifically warned against consuming non-food items like clay or soil, which is a condition known as Pica. It can be very dangerous as clay may contain harmful bacteria, parasites, or heavy metals that are toxic. It might also be a sign of iron deficiency. Please consult your doctor immediately if you have this craving, as they can recommend safe solutions and check your nutrient levels.
