Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I've been having these intense cravings to eat slate pencils during my pregnancy, and it's getting hard to ignore. I'm really concerned and want to stop this habit. Can you suggest any ways to help me overcome these cravings?
This condition is known as pica, and it is important to address it for the health of both you and your baby. To help curb this craving, you can try taking iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate or Folic Acid supplements like Folvite. These supplements can help address any nutritional deficiencies that may be contributing to your cravings. Additionally, you can try snacking on healthy alternatives like fruits, nuts, or seeds to help distract yourself from the craving. It is also important to stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to support your overall health during pregnancy.
