Mines was the scent of scented moth balls. I could not help but want to smell this. Another one was Rubbing Alcohol. I also enjoyed using a lot of baking soda to wash my clothes.. I also love the smell of Pinesol, and Bleach.. I know that these were harmful, but this was a scary condition that I had to deal with, while pregnant. What was yours..?

There were no scents that I craved, but I actually couldn't tolerate the smell of the laundry detergent aile in the supermarket. I would be able to smell it as soon as I walked in the store, and I just could not go down that aile. It was absolutely intense! Really strange cause I don't smell anything in that aile when I'm not pregnant, and it only happened with my last pregnancy as far as I remember.

Mine was actually pickles. For real! You hear it all the time on T.V. but how many people do you know who actually craved pickles?
At one point I had to have steamed crabs (a Maryland favorite). I craved them badly in March but crabs are "in season" from May through August. I had such a hard time finding them!

I wanted to smell lilacs but there were none in Arizona, just horrid cacti and brush and thorny trees.

When I was pregnant with my eldest son, I really loved to drink Margarita and eat Pork Barbeque. My second was, Grilled squid and Siopao and Cinnamon Roll. The last was Black Forest cake, siopao and mushroom soup. When I was pregnant with my 3 sons I don't like the smell of detergent soaps and Cabbage.

My mom said The reason wy she knew I was preggy was cause I was asking for fish all the time. and i didnt like fish that much before. But didnt really know until I gave birth and my mom said that story to me. I thought pineapples was what I was craving for
