Try eating some tums (one or two, not the entire bottle every night!). Generally a craving for an inedible substance means vitamin deficiencies or an underlying mental illness.

These problems can cause complications with your pregnancy. I recommend that you call your doctor of midwife as soon as possible to try to get things straightened out for a healthy pregnancy.
