 :othe mention of plums was probably bad enough kayakebab, but to follow it up with "have a feeling" was possibly a little to much ;)

Haha some good ones there. I posted this on the Cosmopolitan magazine forum and a woman said that 'pica' is a lot more common than you'd think.

Just thought that polish is so strange! A bit worried next time I do some housework I'll be tempted to try it!

Pica is very common, my own pregnancy craving was for the smell of tar. I used to rake the streets looking for road repairs! I  know of someone else who licked coal and another who was warned that her craving for the tinned, pink furniture polish of old (I can't remember the name of the stuff) was dangerous and potentially addictive.............strange but true!
