Oh my God I cannot believe it that there is someone else craving chemicals. I am 40 years old and lately I have been craving the smell of Pinesol and Vicks, not together. When I clean my kitchen I literally put my nose on the Pinesol bottle and have to make a few big sniffs, until literally my nose burns. Then at night as I fall asleep I have to sniff the Vicks over and over until it makes me happy. I am not pregnant, but I wonder if this is a sign of menopause!!!! I don't know if this is normal.

My latest weird craving has been peanut butter and bacon sandwiches and cheesy garlic bread dipped in maple syrup. I just can't get enough of it.

With my first baby, I craved the smell of bleach...constantly was wiping down my counters and cleaning my kitchen. With this pregnancy, it is Pine-Sol (so I mop my floors almost everyday), the smell of wet clean laundry, and worst of all....SWALLOWING GUM! So weird!

I have had absolutely no symptoms. No cravings, nausea, or typical first trimester symtoms. I consider myself to be extremely lucky!

I have the weirdest urge to drink melted candle wax, when it's all liquidy, you know? I hope it's not dangerous because I kind of want to try it (vanilla scented!)

My craving is that I am having strong urges to breathe in petrol fumes. It's very weird and sort of obsessive. I obviously dont do it, but I feel I need to.
