yuck yuck yuck

That must be so unpleasant for you. Cravings are bad enough when the shops are closed, can't imagine what it must be like wanting something you can't have.

I ate house plant dirt when I was pregnant, try taking a daily vitamin to help with the craving.

Pica is such a funny thing!!!! lol! Sand is not safe hun dont eat it, you'll be giving birth in a sandpit!

I read on the internet somewhere that strange cravings like this can be a sign of being low on some sort of vitamin. Maybe you should mention it to your G.P or midwife.

I agree with the others, go to your doctor as you are probably lacking something... maybe salt or silicon?!
