I was just about to write this! I craved toilet paper with both my pregnancies! Had a favourite brand and everything, the moment I had the baby the craving went. So strangeIs it common to have no cravings at all? I never craved anything throughout pregnancy despite being anaemic. Had a few intense cravings post partum while breastfeeding though but nothing weird
I’ve heard of some women craving toilet paper

I’m not totally averse to this movement..Have you ever tried gherkins dipped in melted chocolate?
When I was a kid I went to this weird after school club and we had to fish gherkins out of tubs of melted chocolate with out mouths. Never tried it since but still think about it!I’m not totally averse to this movement..

I know what you mean about the paper. It couldn’t be run of the mill paper, I liked the sugar paper type stuff. It was SO goodAll 4 of my pregnancies I went off food totally in the 2nd trimesters and had an intense craving for specific types of paper. It had to be recycled paper, corrugated card, old books and brown envelopes (I became a bit of a conisour and DWP ones were best). I was more excited about my Amazon parcels so I could eat the card. I also had to have my maternity notes replaced several times because I ate those too. My midwife with my youngest was fascinated by it and asked me all sorts, she said she hadn't looked after a lady with pica before. I ate a 20 year old copy of Colin Wilson's mammoth book of crime which in hindsight I was gutted about, it was my favourite book since I was a kid.
I also develop a craving so intense with my first it frustrated me and that was to eat work men. Gas engineers, plasterers, scaffholders... I could literally pour gravy on them and eat them. They smelt so appealing while I was pregnant, my ex father in law was a workman with a work van and he would let me sit in the work van after he finished work so I could relish the smell - that sweaty, leathery, plastery, dust smell with a hint of rolling tobacco really satisfied me in ways I couldnt explain. I am pretty sure my ex father in law thought I had some sort of fetish. But I promise it wasn't.
Waterloo underground station had an aroma that created the same intense feeling and like a mad woman went back a few times specifically just to sit there and relish the smell. I could of ate the station if I could.
For me it seemed to be compressed, recycled fayreI know what you mean about the paper. It couldn’t be run of the mill paper, I liked the sugar paper type stuff. It was SO good
