It is called pica. Sounds like you have a deficiency in metals or minerals generally iron. Does your prenatal have whole foods in it? Maybe try searching for a more complete vitamin to get your body back on track. Also be sure to tell your doc so they can teat your it on levels or to be sure there isnt an underlying issue. Please dont eat dirt though lol! Your body is going through enough and digesting dirt would be an added stress.
