I know! I'm just glad I'm not alone, and I'm not the only person in the world with this problem.

But I am missing mothballs . My husband hates chemicals. So he rarely allows me to buy mothballs. And also I want to hide from my husband so I m not buying much. Waiting to go to India to buy and chew them

So, you live in the U.S. now? And also, have you had your iron levels checked? I ask because when you have an iron deficiency, alot of times you can develop Pica...it causes strange cravings for things that you aren't supposed to eat. Some people crave ice chips, powder, clay, even dirt...and craving mothballs is also associated with Pica. Since you're pregnant, they will probably test you for anemia...this is my problem. I've had an iron deficiency since I was young, maybe 14 years old.

My cravings have only been for mothballs, and also powder. My iron levels were normal during my 2nd pregnancy, and my cravings left for a little over 2 years. Then out of nowhere, the cravings came back. My husband and I separated, and that made it easier for me to buy them, and chew them because I wasn't hiding my habits from him anymore. But when I was home, and he worked, I couldn't really act on my cravings.

I wish there was another way we could communicate. We aren't allowed to reveal our identities here, unfortunately.

I thought the Same. By no way we could share our other social ID so that me may communicate.
