when we are pregnant we have all kinds of hormones going crazy in our bodies. After the pregnancy we lose some of those feel good hormones and our brains do crazy things. Its called post partum blues. Give it a couple of months and youll be back to normal.
you should stop reading
hormones i think may take a couple of months to settle down
MAYBE YOU CAN TRY TALKING TO SOMEONE GOOD LUCK
wow i dont know what say
but a i think that isn`t too bad
try get your advise from doctor first..ok
i sell handmade paper,
saa, mulberry, garlic, onion, banana, coconut.....elephant poo.
mail me and ill send you some
You might have a vitamin deficiency that is causing this. Have your doctor do a complete physical w/blood work.
You had been through hardship.
Now you are obssessed with smelling paper.
Nothing to do with hormones.
Deepset, you can't get over what happened.
See your gynae and tell your gynae you need help.
You are probably in your start of depression.
If this continues you may need to think of being checked for OCD..
imagine after sniffing the paper you will death.... slowly.....
Each pregnancy leaves its' marker within the body. My first pregnancy left me unable to drink coffee - my second left me unable to tolerate strong smelling cleaning/cosmetic products.
I doubt that your 'addiction' is dangerous. Try to distract yourself instead of doing the sniffing. It won't do you any harm though and you shouldn't worry about it. It will probably go in time.
I'm sorry about your miscarriage. I'm sure that you'll have a successful pregnancy soon.
Paper smells good you probably just picked it up when I was 9 I ate my entire copy book.
you need to talk with your doctor ....it sounds like you have some kind of deficiency....my niece experience something similar while pregnant...she craved rocks...i am not kidding...she sucked on rocks constantly ....like a huge huge craving...
once when i was having alot of problems with low iron i begin craving ice...i mean it was a craving like i could not control ...i would chew a entire bag of ice like it was nothing...i later found out that is one of the symptoms of low iron...its like a craving your body has when something is out of wack...
so go to the doctor and tell them everything....
sorry to hear you lost your baby...
Try toilet paper, that should cure you.
i would say it is your hormones, they can take quite a while to calm down.
just be carefull of paper cuts.
I like paper too! Don't worry! I went to the doctor when I was pregnate and it's just hormones. No worries!
