I also am craving strong smelling things. This is my third pregnancy and I crave Eucalyptic soap smell, minty gum flavour and raw parsnips! I also crave root beer. It's very strange, and my first two children are ok... so I'm just going with the flow! I'd love to know what it means and wonder if I am deficient in anything.

I am hoping that I am not the only abnormal one, but iIlove the smell of Detol, Ajax Lemon, washing powders and the taste of chalk as well!!!! Just in tiny bits, I think it's the texture? Makes my tastebud water..I know, it's a very weird craving, but I can't help it!

Call me weird but it's something about Gummy Bears and McDonalds Chicken Nuggets!!! I'm eating some right now. I loved eating it before, but now it's at a whole other level. And to be honest, I develop the worst attitude when I can't have it.

I am just under 30 weeks with our first child. Early on when I had morning sickness, the only thing that would settle my stomach would be Cool Ranch Dorritos or a hot dog with chili and mustard. If I ate anything else, I would feel even worse. Now, my big craving is vanilla ice cream cones from McDonalds. I get one almost every day on the way home from work!

I love the smell of car tires and anything made of rubber, it makes my mouth water! I'm not sure what the cause of this is, this is my fourth pregnancy and I've never had anything like this before. I love the smell so much I keep smelling my wellies. I think this is really weird as it's not related to food

I am 20 weeks pregnant, I used to love water melon, but now it makes me sick. The funny thing is my husband will wake up in the middle of the night, craving a soda, and if he can't find any in the refrigerator, he'll drive to the nearest filling station to buy some and I really find that weird.
