Pica is a form of eating disorder in which a person craves something other than food. A lady named Silvia was featured on a Discovery TV show tagged ''My Extraordinary Pregnancy '' suffering from Pica . Silvia revealed how she suffered from pica during her third pregnancy meaning she wanted to eat rocks .
She said her mouth watered when she passed construction sites and stony yards. Despite feeling guilty , she could not stop eating stones and pieces of rock which often left her with pains and need to visit the hospital.
Silvia admits trying hard to stop and eating substitute meals as advised by doctors , since the rocks don't supply her with any nutrition, all to no avail.
I've heard of some bizarre things women crave during pregnancy from ''nzu'' local chalk, to sand etc, but eating rocks is really bizzare.
