my sister chewed on new bathroom sponges when she was pregnant, she said it was the texture on her teeth she craved. I haven't really had anything major myself altho my husband craved raw garlic when i was in the first trimester!

Hi all
Just to ask has anyone on here got a thing for chewing on a bath flannal?
I could chew and suck one for ages, Also love to get a good sniff of washed towels
straight from the washing machine. Just wanted to know if any of you also get this and if you know if it means anything?

when i was expecting my son i had exactly the same craving!! i couldnt get enough of the smell of clean washing and would chew on flannels fresh out of the washing machine to the point where i made my mouth sore! it even carried on a few weeks after i had him.
thought i was the only one!! x x x

"jazzyloudog" Thats the same find myself finding things to wash just so i can sniff it when its done!!!!!and chew on a flannal like you say till my mouth is sore its strange.
Really want to know what may cause it will have to remember to ask midwife next time i see her.

It's regression. All my kids have chewed flannels. Sponges too. I love ice just now and tho not strange cheese doritos are tasting fabulous at the moment.
