I am currently 29 weeks with b/g twins. About two months ago I noticed I have a strange craving for wanting to smell cleaning products. My favorite scents of all are clorox teflon, lemon soft scrub, and pine sol. I know this can harmful to me, so I avoid the smell all day. However, it has been a struggle not fulfilling my craving.

Okay, i talked about smell cravings....now food is a different story. With this pregnancy i immediately developed an aversion to regular pop. it just makes me want to gag. i am normally a coca cola addict but cannot stand it. i can only tolerate diet coke and sierra mist free. actually i have developed an addiction to diet coke. i also drink ice water like i am part camel. other foods i cant live without right now are fresh peaches, apples, and licorice gum drops. i dont really have much of a desire for sweets, they leave a nasty aftertaste in my mouth. mcdonalds biscuits and gravy call my name every morning. i crave salads with 1000 island dressing too.

Now at 7 weeks I'm craving things like mad but once I have them in front of me, I can't get a bite down. For instance, I wanted king crab legs...ordered them, hated the smell, then ended up eating my husbands's dinner. Then I roasted an entire 20 lb turkey and couldn't eat it. Made a carrot cake...had to give it to my mom in law. The only craving I have been ab;e to get down are dumplings.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I crave the smell of lemon cleaning products. Its gotten crazy. Like to the point I mop almost everyday, and smell the bottle of pine sol constantly. I cant get enough of it. I also started craving ice chips recently. Good thing this is almost over! :-)
