I've been known to go to a certain fast food place just for the ice. Pregnant or not, a good cup of ice always does the trick. Although, since having DD, I haven't been much of an ice chewer. Definitely think its iron related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-ice#post-784642 Wed, 15 May 2013 23:15:02 +0000 Boheme 784642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: Me too! I had to have crushed ice or a certain setting from our freezer icemaker that made crunchy ice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-ice#post-784245 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:10:17 +0000 hellobeeboston 784245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: this!!</p> <p>When I was iron deficient I looooved ice - and I also had certain kinds I liked.

I am always keeping the baby awake with all of my ice water drinking! To be fair though, I used to eat ice all the time when I was younger. I have lowish iron and take iron pills, but I still love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-ice#post-779312 Mon, 13 May 2013 20:42:58 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 779312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had a few weeks when i was pregnant where i was obsessed with ice. like i remember going to mcdonalds and along with my food, i asked for a cup of just ice. I googled if it was a normal pregnancy thing and i kept finding that it could mean you have low iron. Coincidentally i did have low iron, my doctor put me on iron pills and the ice cravings stopped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eating-ice#post-779299 Mon, 13 May 2013 20:40:46 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 779299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone else do this? I feel like Im obsessed with eating ice the last few months. Like I get excited at the idea of coming home to eat it :/ I do like certain pieces (dont ask) better than others so I think it has to do with the texture more than the taste but still its odd. I didnt do this with my pregnancy with Drake so wondering if this is normal </p>
