I didn't have any wierd cravings, but I remember being asked if I craved grout or pottery. WHAT?!? How would I know that that is what I was craving, even if I did??? =)

DIRT! Yes, dirt. My doctor told me that is a side effect of not having enough Iron. Needless to say he put me on a supplement right away cause I was about to get a spoon and head for my back yard.

I don't really crave anything strange, I just eat Spaghetti every single day...it's my weakness lol that's all I really crave... as far as craving pottery or grout, that's signs of a vitamin deficiency and that person needs to get to the doctor right away! Sorry I don't have any "Strange" cravings for you

child 1- orange juice but only minute maid the rest made me sick
child 2- White Milk (which I hate)
child 3- Water
The reason you were asked that about the grout and pottery is to see if you may have something wrong with your levels of iron, ppl who do crave things like ice, paper, paint, dirt, and other strange things. good luck and congrats

Not strange, but I live off of vanilla wafers at the moment. Oh and lemon/lime gatorade...it's great because it taste the same coming up as it did going down (just warmer)!! LOL
With my last pregnancy I wanted to eat McDonalds nuggets all the time and I had never liked them before. But I have never craved anything weird like bananas and mustard or anything.

LOL!!! I craved cake and pie. OH! Butter pecan ice cream. Gallons of it. The what to expect book says that if you are craving something weird like ashes or laundry starch, yes laundry starch, it could be a sign of nutritional deficiency. I don't think that it is common though.

isnt that funny?? when i went to the doctor they asked me if i had a craving for dirt, the frost from the freezer, paint chips. i said...HUH?!? lol. they say thats a sign that you're missing certain nutrients. its pretty common. my mom use to eat the freezer frost.
i havent had any strange cravings. just dying for pineapples and pepperonies. *yeah without the pizza* i guess that is strange. at least im not like my mom. lol she use to eat fudge, salmon, peanut butter, crackers. :)

I once had a meal of Kielbasa, Sauerkraut and Spanish Rice while pregnant, but that's as weird as I got. I craved jalapenos, but that's not weird.

Well I know it doesn't sound strange but I loved chilli dogs when I was pregnant. This is strange because I hate both chilli and hot dogs and wouldn't touch one if someone paid me to. But when I was pregnant, I couldn't get enough of them!
