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

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!

I loveee ice. 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.

Im pretty sure Pagophagia is thought to be a form of Pica and is often associated with pregnancy and like the other ladies mentioned usually due to anemia/iron issues.

I eat ice non stop and I'm not pregnant! Lol

I only craved it when my iron was low - it was the weirdest thing!

@Mrs. Chocolate: we had to stop at certain restaurants that had crushed ice!!

@grizz: this!!
When I was iron deficient I looooved ice - and I also had certain kinds I liked. Once I got my iron back to normal I stopped, did t crave it and actually cringed at the thought!!

@hellobeeboston: Me too! I had to have crushed ice or a certain setting from our freezer icemaker that made crunchy ice.

I have always loooooved ice. 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.
