Hey ladies , so I already have my personal account on preggie but I decided to make this one because there's something that has become a habit in my life and I haven't told anyone about it but I feel so bad and dont know what to do :( I couldn't post this on my other account because even though I know you ladies dont judge its just such an embarassing topic to me . I havent even told my husband or my doctor about it and honestly dont even plan on doing it.
I began with this urge to take a whole ice cube tray from the freezer and just chomp and eat all the ice . ( that was from about 32 weeks ? ) but thats not my concern ,
Well this all started when I hit 34 or 35 weeks I believe . I have 3 kittens and when i'd feed them their kibbles i'd get this urge to try the cat food because it just smelled so good .
I controlled myself until about a week or two ago I gave in . at first I felt sick after and didnt think i'd do it again but I did i'd get a little bit and started eating it ...... Its gotten worse , it went from getting a little bit to taste to now actually taking out handfuls and eating them . I do this several times a day . Idk why I just do it . I'm not stressed or sad or anything .
this morning after eating a handful I went on youtube and watched that " my strange addiction im addicted to eating cat food " and I felt so bad and disgusted when the doctor said what are the ingredients and what is it made out of , also it mentioned it could give you salmonella.
I'm scared that my cat food eating habit will hurt my baby :( or that it has by me doing this daily for the past week or two.
The doctor has always told us our baby is healthy and Idk what I would do if all of a sudden our baby gets sick or something . I'm really going to try so hard to stop , today I will fight the urge to eat anymore .
I'm sorry if this was gross ladies but I just had to tell someone 😔 I couldn't tell my husband because one day I pretended to put some in my mouth and he was like " don't feed my baby cat food !! shes not an animal " but he said it in a way that bothered him (and I don't blame him) . He goes with me to all my doctors appointments so I cant talk to my doctor about it . I'm actually really embarrassed to . I'm due anytime in the next 3 weeks anyways . If anyone could give me advice or try to talk some sense into me i'd really appreciate it thank you and have a nice day!

A lot of women crave minerals, like rocks or starch or things like that. you need to tell your doctor so he can get you the vitamins you are lacking in your diet. that will help out a ton. its honestly not weird, but it could be harmful to the babyy

craving nonfood items could mean your anemic it happened to me with dirt and ice please talk to your doc! i got so anemic i couldnt walk

Maybe u can call your doc n explain the situation n tell them how your husband doesn't know. They could prob make an appt n u could go alone. Cat food is dangerous even when ur not preg so I def would hide it from my doctor. Good luck.

It could be a sign of pica or mean your iron levels are low

don't be embarrassed mama pregnancy does some weird things to us. it could be your anemic or might have pica it'll go away when you baby comes but yu should tell your doctor so he can put u in some medicine my brother used to have ppigs and pica and its when your body craves things like non food items. my brother used to lick the streets and eat leaves. could get dangerous depending what u crave. just let your doctor know mama so they can help. that's what there there for 😊 and don't be embarrassed her either were here to help.

oh my god don't be embarrassed at all! with my first pregnancy I craved this soap we had at work and bleach I would wash my pillows and anything I could think of in bleach and I would wash my hands in it just to always smell it. I had pica which is very very common in pregnancy. this go around I actually was craving chewing on these sponges we have at work.
