Ok I thought I was REALLY strange for craving the smell of stuff. This is my fourth pregnancy...with my first I craved the smell of Pine-Sol, 2nd didn't last long enough to crave anything, 3rd I craved cauliflower and this one I am craving the smell of Comet cleanser. I clean the bathroom everyday and I usually let the Comet sit in the tub for a while so I can smell it when I walk by or go to the bathroom!

Well where do I start? I drink water like I'm in the desert. I drink cup-a-soup for breakfast. I am obsessed with Twix bars, pickles and nachos with cheese from Taco Time. I eat hotdogs quite often, and am always craving lunchables and popcorn (but NOT the microwave kind). There are things that I just can't bring myself to eat, too, like any kind of warm sub from Subway and eggs with any evidence of grease on them.

Give me hot chicken wings, cheez whiz, anything coconut-curry, chocolate milk, nachos and salsa, and i am a happy woman!! I would never even think of eating cheez whiz before, and rarely chicken wings. Can't deal with yogurt or brown rice, or the smell of raw chicken. ick.

I thought I had delevoped the strangest cravings ever but after reading some of the comment on this site I now feel somewhat normal.
I crave the smell of a particular air freshner (not the one from a tin you spray, the glass ones you would say stand on your window sill). I also have the urge to hoover all the time and I can't get enough of the warm air smell that comes from the hoover!

I was drinking alot of fruit juices, because i thought that was a really good thing to be doing. Better then soda's and sweet drinks anyways! But i went to my OB-GYN and he told me that drinking fruit juices are still just as bad as drinking pop because they are packed full of sugar. FYI.....To much sugar makes baby pee more, in turn making more amniotic fluid, making you bigger, AND making baby bigger. If you really dont want a c-section like me, drink lots of water. Lay off the fruit juices! So far my boy is 2 weeks bigger then he should be!!
