The thought of eating anything barbecue or smoked, or any kind of lunch meat just turns my stomach. But i can eat mexican food anytime!

Haha I find it pretty funny about the smells and stuff because I love the smell of gasoline and every time I go to fill up the car I have to smell the nozzle. I thought I was just weird but I guess it's normal. I like other strange smells too, but gasoline in particular.

I am 34 weeks and throughout the pregnancy I have craved different things. All along it has been pretty normal, potatoes, sweets, and such, but just recenty I can't seem to get enough of any type of chemical cleaner smell. Pine Sol and bleach are my favorites. I thought I was strange untill I read how many people are in the same boat on here.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant, and I've been having the urge to smell toilet bowl deodorizer. They say it is called pika.

Toilet paper cravings: my doctor told me that the reason my son used to eat it and cry for it was because his iron was very low. This would be my 3rd pregnancy and I didn't have any cravings with my 2 boys. But for some reason with this girl im pregnant with, I can't get enough of that pine-sol sent!!! I swear i wash my floors and fall in love. I caught myself one day when my mop head broke, I was trying to fix it with my hands and that smell.. OMG. lol Another craving of mine is those house sprays. The Clean Linen sent! Just talking about this makes the back of my throat.. i cant even explain it lol. When I do laundry i sit and smell the liquid laundry soap like theres no tomorrow. I mean its not like im sniffing this stuff day in and day out. Just from time to time. I hope im not the only one with this craving. Jaminy
