really weird craving for the smell of sponges starting!

lauralora · Mar 3rd, 2010, 16:37 PM

YES sponges!! LOL

i have no idea why but i just love the smell and im absolutley addicited to smelling that bath smell you get on a sponge ... its so crazy, also when someone has had a bath and i walk in i could sit there for hours, the smell of the bubble bath and just that lovely clean smell makes me go wild

i hope its nothing to worry about, ive had bloods taken in past that show im not low on anything soooo im guessing its a weird pregnant thing

does anyone else have weird cravings?

I'm sure it's normal! I know someone that wanted to eat soil, so it's not that bad!

OMG I had this so bad with Liv....I'm being reminded of how good a sponge sounds by this thread! I used to like brand new sponges the best...straight from the packet with that chemically smell on them still. I wasn't fussy....a dish washing sponge would do as long as it was brand new! xx
