OMG I thought it was just me and my sisters, I hate it when I crunch food loudly or if anyone does it around me... BUT a different story with ice, I couldnt get enough of it. YUM, YUM, YUM

Oh yeah, and even now after having my last baby, I still raid the ice!!!!  I love it!  It helps to keep me cool and keeps me hydrated as well.  And, it is more fun than plain boring old water!!! 

There is no reason why a pregnant woman, or a nursing mum, shouldn't eat ice if it gets fluids into them.  I recommend it for women who experience really bad morning sickness as it helps to keep the stomach a cooler temperature and helps to ease nausea and vomitting- wish I 'd worked it out with my first and not my fifth baby.

hi,

i was doing the same in my pregnency, but ofcourse not 3 kg , that's really too much, but it's alot of fun really .. and i used to feel comfortable after eating ice , funny i know ..

 Hi, I had the same craving with bub no:2! Constantly, had to have it in the fridge... mind you, was very hot that summer (45 degrees!!!) but as soon as my boy was born, couldnt stand the ice in my mouth.

Very strange cause I didnt have the craving with no:3 or no:4, having low iron does make sense to me cause I had low iron with bub no:2 but not with the other 3.

Hope all is well, and no, your not alone by the sounds of it. Usually your body tells you what you need and its screaming for ice! lol

My Mum ate dirt when she was pregnant with me! haha

Good Luck

Yes! Yes! Yes! I am not alone, I also had this addiction while I was pregnant but it did continue afterward so the last answer on here makes huge sense cause after a year of eating ice, I went to the doctors for something else and had a blood test, iron levels checked and they were very low, took iron supplements and now am fine. I do still eat ice on occasions but that's prob more  habit now! Hope you feel better knowing you are not alone but do mention having your iron levels checked next time you are at the doc's. Good luck and congratulations on your bub!

Not ice, but when I was pregnant with my last one, I used to drink mouthfulls of sea water when I was at the beach. I used to go to te beach everyday so I could drink the sea water.

Yes!!! My husband was always telling me off for crunching ice with my teeth..I had to have ice with everything everyday. The day my daughter was born it stopped....bizarre

wow thats alot of ice. mind u i craved coke with ice in at the end of my pregnancy xx

Hello Karleigh, sometimes craving ice whilst pregnant can be a sign that you are lacking iron, your   doctor would be able to prescribe iron tablets for you, or alternatively you could eat more green leafy vegetables,  beef is also supposed to have a lot of iron .
