I’d just mention it to your Dr, even if your levels are good, you never know. Better safe than sorry, in my opinion anyways ☺️👍🏻

I used to love eating powder as a child. Idk what it means though. Definitely reach out to your doctor. Let us know what he says...

Craving Baby power or Cornstarch or things like soil or chalk is a condition called PICA. It can come come from your iron levels being low, I myself have been chewing cornstarch and spitting it out.

@jatoyasmith93 lol, I wouldn't recommend eating the powder, nor cornstarch...however my brain gets the best of me sometimes. I feel as though if I don't swallow it then my baby is fine. Chewing it then spitting it out does enough for my craving.

I ate cornstarch towards the end of my last two pregnancies and just started eating it with this . it's definitely your iron levels. You can take iron pills which causes constipation, ask the doctor to prescribe prenatal pills w| iron in them or give in to your craving 😂 it won't harm your baby. Some people say if you eat it too much, your baby will come out white w| powder on them (never happened to me) I'll eat about two boxes during the remainder of the pregnancy
