Hi ladies,

Are you also addicted to certain foods?

I've had a craving for peppermint for a month now that I just can't shake. My question is also: does anyone know if this is dangerous for your baby? Because some midwives also recommend it for heartburn.

    Well, it was even worse for me. Around 28 weeks, I wanted to eat plaster from the wall

    I eventually solved that with cough suppressants I don't think it's dangerous, though it's certainly not great for your health.

    Hahaha yes, my husband really looked at me like, "okay, you're just crazy"

    It's tough though hahaha I tried to hold myself back, and then I looked at the wall thinking hmm if I could just take a bite of that outy:

    hahahah yes, I totally get what you mean... I mean, I do have nesting instincts, but they're reinforced by the urge to clean everything with all-purpose cleaner

    Well, I have to say.. actually, the nesting instinct has stayed with me from my pregnancy until now And especially that cleaning obsession, I still vacuum almost every day. Okay, now I have a little monster who makes a mess, but even when there's no mess.

    I know that feeling. Once the baby is here, it sometimes gets even worse. The urge to have everything neat and tidy fades when you realize the baby will just make a mess again right away. Vacuuming might be a temporary fix, but try not to force it. Sometimes it’s okay for things to be a bit messy. You don’t have to keep everything perfect for yourself.
