Weirdest pregnancy cravings?

What are the weirdest cravings you've had during your pregnancy?

For my first daughter, I wanted nothing but vienna sausages with mustard for the second trimester.

My second daughter, all I would eat was pizza rolls dipped in French dressing the whole pregnancy.

Now, I'm afraid I have the weirdest craving of all.

SALTWATER and DIRT! I've heard of weird cravings, but tell me I'm not alone.

Update:

Green_eyes60, I ate healthy, thank you.

I took my prenatal vitamins, tried to avoid caffine, and tried to avoid anything to high in fats and sugar.

I think it would've been okay to treat my self with some snacks now and then. Usually when you crave something it means your body needs it.

    In the beginning of my pregnancy I wanted beef and potatoes smashed with gravy, pineapple, oranges, hot peppers and gardenia still do.

    I never really craved anything weird yet except fruit salad with pickles mixed in and that was about it. Before my pregnancy I had weird tastes I love and still do love miracle whip with tomatoes and hot pepper sandwiches.

    And now with the above its seems I now also want buffalo wings and a honey with cream cheese on a toasted roll and that's about it.

    If you are craving dirt then you need to go to the doctor. You are missing a very important mineral! It is common, people will crave dirt, pika (not spelled right but it is clay in Georgia), laundry soap, etc Please call your doctor and get this fixed, you baby needs a lot of minerals and you need to take care of your body.

    haha, all I wanted was beef, rice and mustard, nothing else sounded good at all! I have definitely heard of people craving dirt before! I think it may be some sort of vitamin deficiency, you might want to check it out! Good luck :-)

    Pineapples, watermelon, chocolate syrup, tiramisu, cucumbers, mushrooms, steak (medium rare- always), and cafe mochas (I get them decaf but it's not the same).

    I've always been a healthy eater, but when you crave, your body is telling you it needs something.

    I also want the smell of dirt after it rains... go figure. My SIL loved car exhaust when she was pregnant with my nephew. Mind you, she didn't inhale.

    I once heard on a morning radio show of a woman who would melt cheddar cheese and slab it on vanilla ice cream while she was prego.
