Pregnant women are known for having some pretty intense and pretty unusual food cravings like pickles with ice cream, but they’re nothing compared to one Liverpool mom’s pregnancy craving.
Like many other pregnant women, 33-year-old Zoe Eastman had been taking extra time to care and pamper herself while pregnant, and had been relaxing in a bubble bath when she suddenly had the urge to eat the bubbles. “When I first fell pregnant, I enjoyed pampering myself in the bath with soothing lotions. I’d try different products, but it wasn’t until I was 20 weeks pregnant that the craving to eat bath bubbles started,” Eastman said.
“I came across Radox Muscle Therapy, and I couldn’t get enough. I would put the bubbles up to my nose and inhale. The experience was invigorating and soon I started tasting the bubbles. For some strange reason, I loved the consistency,” Eastman said.
Eventually, Eastman’s fiancé Mark walked in on her eating bubbles during one of her three baths per day, and her friends found out about her strange craving. As soon as they did, they urged her to get to a doctor to test her blood to see if she was deficient in iron, which can cause people to eat things other than food.
Fortunately, her blood work came back completely normal, and the doctor said her crazy habit wasn’t harming the baby. “After Indie was born, the craving stopped straight away and when I tasted the bubbles it was horrible. The taste was disgusting – I nearly vomited. I wanted to see if I still liked it, but it tasted like soap,” Eastman said.
“It’s probably a good thing the craving has gone now, as these days having a toddler leaves me with no time to soak in the tub – I’m lucky if I get five minutes in the shower.”
