Tape
You are going to think I am nuts.
But i have the most intense craving for tape. Like scotch tape.
I want to smell it and eat it. Odd?
I wonder if it is a sign of pica?
It sounds like the only thing that would taste good and not make me nauseated.
No I am not eating it, but I want too.
Odd huh?
That is quite odd.. haven’t heard of that one before. Have you looked up to see what all is in scotch tape? When you crave something inedible, doesn’t it usually mean that you are missing something that is in that item in your diet? Or not necessarily?

I heard of a woman who had pica and ate scotch tape during her pregnancy and kept eating it after.

RYN: I was so angry last night when Alex kept naming shit off… Samantha got her daughter potty trained, weaned, and night trained, and she’s six months younger than Gabe. Jesse got her daughter trained. Chelsea got her three toddlers all three, and they’re 2 months older and 1 month younger than Gabe (she had a baby and turned around at the 6 wk appt and was preg w/twin). I was SO fucking angry.

Definitely pregnancy-induced pica. Talk to your care provider.

I’ve heard that most cravings in pregnancy are easily explained by whatever your body is lacking. So maybe there is something in tape that mimics a certain vitamin or something like that. I dunno… you could look it up I suppose. 🙂 I have never done so to verify whether that was true or not, but I know I have heard that people who crave dirt, for instance, are lacking iron. That’s pretty weird tho.. but kinda cool that you’re craving that. I bet it’s weird to think about huh? lol. *hugs* <3
