It really hurt my teeth and now they're sensitive to everything (no cavities or other problems though). I wasn't anemic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chewing-ice-1#post-2188850 Mon, 25 May 2015 21:38:11 +0000 mrsjyw 2188850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: yep just had one last week! Not anemic!</p> <p>I guess I should clarify, I don't do it just to do it, but will if I have leftover ice in my water! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chewing-ice-1#post-2188792 Mon, 25 May 2015 20:19:15 +0000 chopsuey 2188792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahah I was addicted to it during pregnancy too!

With my last I was going through a tray of ice a day. It always means I'm anemic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chewing-ice-1#post-2188767 Mon, 25 May 2015 19:49:01 +0000 travellingbee 2188767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it is a big red flag for anemia. I did too at the end of my pregnancy. I also was obsessed with the smell of Clorox wipes, lol which is another symptom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chewing-ice-1#post-2188763 Mon, 25 May 2015 19:40:01 +0000 matador84 2188763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't stop with DD. I would go to Sonic and just get a huge cup with ice and chew it all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chewing-ice-1#post-2188703 Mon, 25 May 2015 18:26:43 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2188703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally an addiction. And I was anemic too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chewing-ice-1#post-2188699 Mon, 25 May 2015 18:16:45 +0000 brady80 2188699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Towards the end of my pregnancy I was totally addicted! I did have anemia and also annoyed my husband!! But I couldn't stop https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chewing-ice-1#post-2188697 Mon, 25 May 2015 18:14:27 +0000 hellobeeboston 2188697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it can be an iron thing. When I had low iron I LOVED to chew ice!! Now I can't stand it, maybe check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chewing-ice-1#post-2188694 Mon, 25 May 2015 18:08:45 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2188694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you had a blood test recently? Lots of ice chewing can be related to a deficiency (iron? Something like that?) </p> <p>But, I love crunching the ice in my drinks when it's gone softish and kind of melty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chewing-ice-1#post-2188594 Mon, 25 May 2015 15:24:46 +0000 mrsjyw 2188594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm addicted. Dh thinks it is annoying and bad for my teeth! :silly: I'm an ice chewer outside of pregnancy too though! </p>
