Pica?

I am by no means a dainty woman...size 8 or 10 prepreggo. I love chocolate, sweets, carbs, pizza, ect.
Why can I not find a single thing to eat when pregnant?! I want ice and that's about it. I am making a dinner of my hippie grass fed beef and veggie kabobs with rice that should look delish...and I don't want any of it?! I am pregnant and want to indulge in my favs and food disgusts me?!
Why am I such a freak!! I want my old appetite back! Waaaahhh...as I gag!

    I've been eating almost nothing but soy bacon BLTs and OJ for weeks. Nothing else looks/sounds good.

    Make sure You check your iron since ice chewing can be a sign of anemia

    Pica is a disorder in which people, usually women and children, crave or feel compelled to eat nonnutritive substances, such as dirt, rocks, clay, or even laundry soap. Just not having an appetite is not considered pica. Are you craving anything at all? Like a PP said, craving ice can be a sign of iron deficiency. If you are losing weight or really not gaining, I would definitely discuss it with your doc. I haven't had much appetite but I can still eat and hold things down, even if they don't appeal to me.

    Ill probably be the first to admit this but I had terrible Pica with my first. All I craved was fabric or pencil erasers! Weird o me I know. Our bed comforter has these frayed decorating edges all around and I'd literally sit in bed and eat them off ! They tasted so good! Lol ok here come the comments

    This is my problem! I actually crave raw ground beef! How gross, right?? Of course, I would NEVER eat raw meat! Especially, pregnant! It's just the weirdest craving ever!
