HELP LADIES!!! im really struggling with my craving to chew and suck the washing powder flavour out of my clothes i have chewed straight through the sleeve of one of my fave tops now looks like a moth has eaten it! my jumpers and robs t-shirts are ruined round the necks! its rubbish! i cant help it i have no self control i keep telling myself to stop it! i got a flannel to chew instead the other night but ended up with a black mouth where i sucked all the colour out of it aswell.. cant be good for the baby or me!
oh and the bath sponge! rob only bought me a new one yesterday and i chewed it to bits in the bath this morning and sucked the soap out of it!!
i have to count to 3 and force myself to throw it out of the bath so i can get out or i'll sit there all day with it!

please someone help me any advice greatly appreciated!

HAHAHA I haven't laughed so much in ages lol but the funniest thing about it is that I have the exact same craving lol. Bath sponges YUM YUM I love to lick mine, I am hygenic and have one just for chewing, sucking and licking (OH is jealous lmao)! This is the first time I have openly admited my addiction lol.
What's your faveourite brand?
Mine is Boots sanctuary spa mum-to-be bath soak (with sponge) along with the smell of Tesco's own 'Pine' disinfectant. I keep cleaning just to smell it lol!!!
Oh dear I'm still laughing!
Sorry I am no help - other than to say I had the same craving in my first pregnancy and have a very happy healthy 1 year old son!!! no damage done!!!

i had the same with my first baby too, she is a bit of a fruitloop but i dont think that has anything to do with the soap! well i do my washing with fairy and that what im the worst with.. the sponge chewing can be whatever i have in the shower at the time! i also have a seperate one for chewing on! hubby only bought me one last night and i chewed the crap out of it in the bath this morning!! oops... he thinks its really odd! but its actually called Pica craving un edible things! xx

Hannahmummyto2 · Mar 27, 2009 3:57PM

haha my oh is the same and im not allowed to chew around Tegan as its "disgusting" I think its normal and i quite enjoy it to be honest lol flannels are also good. your making me want some chew time now lol xx

upsydaisy · Mar 27, 2009 4:02PM

yeah i like flannels too! but i had one of brookes with piglet on and washed it so i cud chew that instead of my clothes and ended up with a black mouth where the colour of the out line of piglets face had come out! was rank hubby wasnt impressed! go have some chew time!

lol yeah who needs to eat when you can chew. i find myself in the bath for hours at a time just chewing, its not untill im almost asleep in the bath that i actually start to wash and stuff lol xx

Hannahmummyto2 · Mar 27, 2009 4:08PM

i also have a quick "chew" when i nip to the loo...which is quite often these days

HanBoys · Mar 27, 2009 4:18PM

OH MY DAYS... I just had a chew-a-thon, right after a nice sniff-a-thon lol. This talk of chewing sponges made me sooooo desperate for some 'sponge time' so I went and scrubbed the bathroom till even the door handle was shining with the lovely aroma of pine disinfectant. I almost took a swig but I refrained lol!!! I then rewarded myself with a nice long hot soak in the bath with my mum-to-be bath soak and chomped on the chomping sponge till my jaw hurt!!!
MMM...
I'm just gonna do some google 'research' and find out if this craving means anything!

upsydaisy · Mar 27, 2009 4:32PM

HanBoys · Mar 27, 2009 4:34PM
