I have picked up this habit of chewing on erasers, I don't swallow it after I chew on it for a while I spit it out. They taste soooo good to me 😋

@crystal.newman I definitely will mention it to them!
@bwjones6, oooo girl yeah it’s getting bad for you. Please bring this up to your doctor. They made need to do another blood test it could be very severe and you’ll be at risk for hemorrhaging when you give birth.
@crystal.newman a couple of weeks ago I was craving sand/dirt I did resist eating that though, now erasers craving has started
Thanks ladies so much for your help. I know I need to stop this habit
@bwjones6, yeah I have pica right now and I crave ice chips! Pica is just a fancy word for craving non nutritional items. Some women will even crave baking soda or soil. Yours is erasers! Lol. It will be okay just pop a pill with some orange juice (orange juice helps the body to absorb it faster) and the craving should subside.
@cameronsmommy17 yes the doctors did say my iron was low and told me some over the counter meds to get
@bwjones6 that's good! Hopefully that takes care of that craving! 💙
@babymomma2018 I had started craving them and once I chewed one I couldn't stop smh but I'm going to start back taking my iron pills
@crystal.newman 😒 your right I haven't taken my iron pills for a while. I do need to start back taking them. Thanks!
@bwjones6 the residue that disinigrates in your mouth is really bad for you...even if u don't swallow actual pieces...i used to chew on erasers when I was about 10 and after awhile I got horrible head aches, dizziness and bad stomach aches
Cravings like that normally mean you're lacking something in your diet.
@bwjones6, are you craving it? I get you don’t eat it which is great!! But if you’re craving items like that. You may have Pica. Meaning your iron might be low which can cause problems at the time of birth.
@crystal.newman why? I don't swallow the pieces
@bwjones6, yay! I’m glad I could help! And if you get constipated from the pill just put some miralax in your favorite drink and drink that. Don’t worry it has no taste. If the pill upsets your tummy. Eat a hearty meal and avoid dairy, or soda with your meal (these keep the body from absorbing all the iron). Stick with orange juice or water when you’ve taken your pill.
