So I have been wanting to blog for sometime now and I wanted it to be an interesting blog. SO here goes. Pica anyone?
This very thing is odd and I myself don't know as much as I should about it but I hope that I can help someone.
If you have been told you have Pica you're probably eating something very weird or craving weird stuff and your embarrassed about it as was I .
My thing was salt. It started during my first Pregnancy 3 1/2 years ago. Thankfully during second pregnancy when the Pica was so out of control I was sent to a high risk doctor who took care of me and the baby. I had 8 days of iron infusions (not common and painful)
Before this I ate salt on ice. I would sneak and eat salt when no one was looking. I would use containers of Morton Salt in no time at all. I craved it every second of everyday.
It sounds so weird but it controlled me and was so surprising to the doctor himself.
Pica is when your body is depleted of something and you start craving different things. I have heard mud,paint and so on...
I would like to help others understand it and talk about it.
Hope to hear from you!
Heather Dawn :)
