Pregnant & Eat Dry Wall

Well I'm 36 weeks pregnant and I eat dry wall. I don't recall how far along I was when I started but I love it and crave it all the time. How is this harmful to my baby?  I tried to stop but can't.

It’s just a small piece but i wasn’t paying attention and I swallowed it.
I’m 32 weeks pregnant and I’m worried
I’ll be fine???
My baby will be ok???
Please be patient.  If members are able to help, they will respond when they are available.  It is not necessary to keep posting the same question.
Hello, remember.  It's best to check in with your ob/gyn when concerned.  But a small piece of dry wall is likely fine.  Have you talked to your doctor yet?

If you care about the health of your baby you'll realize how harmful it is and stop because a craving of something like that isn't near as important as your babys health.! Good luck..

It is called pica and it's very dangerous. Not only do you have an anemia going on which can have its own side effects you are putting you and your baby at risk of chemical or germ contact. Also the fiberglass and plaster is horrible in on GI tract and can cause worse anemia but effecting your absorption. Whe it comes to eating dirt that puts you at severe risk of contaminatuon as well. Please call your physiscian asapt. It can be very dangerous.
