one of my friends told me that her doctor told her not to eat that much ice or if possible, not at all, during her pregnancy. i just wanted to know the reason for this?

I have no idea where your friend is coming from. They give you ice chips during labor to keep you from getting dehydrated.

Never heard that. I am sure it is fine to eat ice during pregnancy.

My friend who was pregnant used to eat ice all the time. Her OBGYN told her that the reason she was craving ice was because she was anemic and not taking her iron pills. I have no idea what one has to do with the other, but you should check into it.

Yes it is fine to eat ice during pregnancy but if you are craving ice then you should mention this to your doc because it signals an iron deficiency sometimes!

Never Heard of being told not to eat ice it is only frozen water I would not listen to that bit of advice and I certainly would consider changing Dr's

Pregnancy can weaken teeth. Many women who have been pregnant find out after they have given birth that they have a cavity or two. The Dr. might be thinking that since your teeth are weak during that time that it is easier to chip or crack a tooth.

I have never heard of that... I have eating ice through out my whole pregnancy so far and im almost 31 weeks pregnant....I think it actually helps me when i have heartburn or feel nauseous.

My doctor told me the best thing for heart burn when I was pregnant was to eat ice because compounds in antacids could interfere in the onset of labour.

I don't think so because the day my sister was going to labor I was giving her ice chips and the nurse would bring more when she needed more. It helped her alot. So I don't think the doctor would discourage ice chips.
