Having a baby is an exciting time but also results in many unusual food cravings. May I suggest you take a Vitamin B complex tablet if not already high in your pregnicare multivitamin tablets.Please do not eat chalk, this is dangerous for your baby. It is important you speak with your Obstetrician as for suggestions as the health of your baby is at risk if your cravings are uncontrollable.
