I am 37 weeks along with my second baby. I have an obsession with ICE. I eat it non stop when I get a soda through a drive through or something. Lately since our ice maker makes too big of pieces, I put a whole bunch of ice in a plastic bag and crush it with a meat tenderizer. I absolutely love it!! I know it must be bad for my teeth but I don't care. I am looking forward to when I am in labor in the hospital and they give me ice chips!! Any women out there have or had this craving during pregnancy? just curious

I did too. It is a sign of low iron. Make sure you are taking your prenantals and tell your doc about that craving. He may give you an iron supplement.

OMG, with my first pregnancy all i wanted was ice. I would go to my sister-in-laws job where they sold snow cones EVERY single day and order one, but with no flavor. I thought the flavor ruined the ice. I heard that it was due to a zinc deficiency, or something like that, but I am unsure if that is true or not. I used to love the ie at Taco Bell because it was the crushed ice. I had never heard anyone else craving ICE while pregnant. Congrats on the new baby that is on the way!!

It is a sign of an iron deficiency. My aunt had an iron deficiency where she wanted ice and my cousin did too and literally wanted to eat dirt.
