I was just reading a post about cravings during pregnancy and I really do think my craving was very strange and very rare. I used to chew on bath sponges! They had to have warm water in them too. I used to get a pack of three every week purely to chew on. It makes me dither now to think of it but just wondered, has anyone had or know anyone that has had a strange craving like this? Or even a craving for sponges also! Thanks

Well I never! I've just looked up sponge cravings on the net and a few came up. They even said that they had to be wet sponges. That is so strange. I wonder why!
lol Jeanette, that definitely beats the sponges - gross!
i had the common one of wanting ice and also lettuce sandwiches with fresh white bread.

I knew many women that like plastic or petrol smells, even creosote :(
Not really strange, but my mum craved Pickled Onions when she was pregnant with me. I love pickled onions

redcrx - I also had a thing for ice but that was right near the beginning of my pregnancy. I once sat and ate a whole box of those mini ice pole's that kids have, in one evening.
Mine was Vesta beef curries
Mine was fruit polo's.
joey, my craving for ice got worse towards the end. Id keep ice poles in freezer at work lol
I like tar from the road, and Tailor's Chalk!
I used to suck on sponges as a little child, and drink the bathwater that I was sitting in. Disgusting. It would drive my mum absolutely spare. Don't think I was pregnant though.
Mine was mashed swede with my first and cooking apples with my second.
Mine was milk (I kept it to skimmed though as I didnt want to end up any bigger!) I drank about 4 pints every 4-5 hours....
Mine was lemon curd.Euwwwww.At least I should be grateful it was of the food group.
