Yes, since we're not allowed to eat sand...I told my Doctor and she gave me a special injection that prevents all the sand cravings.

I always crave for white sand but luckily I take Folic acid tablets coz the sand is not healthy for me nd the baby

I would imagine myself eating them but would not crave for them though! For me it's probably just curiosity?

lol sand?!! maybe you should just eat crushed graham and imagine it’s a sand 😂

Lol yes today, and I couldn't resist it. I took some and after that felled certisfied

oh dear, did you really attempt to try it? i hope you're feeling ok, mummy.

Yes it's normally the red hard sand. It's wen you are short of iron.

thanks
