A member asked:
Im 37 weeks pregnant and i crave toilet tissue and salt,i can eat 1 roll a day. could i harm my baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pica: Craving and consuming non edible things is more common than you think! Outside of there not being any nutritional value in toilet tissue, there is no direct harm to the baby. For you, however, the consumption of non edible things may cause obstruction of your bowel which may even require surgery to release. Talk to your OB. They will make sure you are not deficient and therefore craving.
