Lol..I don't know what I can possibly do I don't think the corn starch can hold it off much longer but I have 3 more weeks until my baby girl is born so I could wait

I used to eat corn starch and flower too..  at times years ago with my first baby powder.... I'm anemic which has another side affect called pica ( urging your body to eat strange things)

They say when you crave things like that or dirt etc means your lacking something in your body such as iron etc.
