I ate chalk at 32 weeks and have been nibbling on it for about a weeks will it hurt my baby ?

Not a good idea: Many people in the south of the U.S.A. eat things like dirt and chalk but it is not recommended when you are pregnant. Please notify your OB MD of this practice to make sure certain fetal testing is done to assess your baby's health.
