Ice 🥶 is it bad?

Question

Before I found out I was pregnant I ate ice like it was candy I’m talking about bags in 2 days I loved ice so much but when I found out I was pregnant I had stopped craving ice and just about 2 weeks ago my cravings came back  I’m 19wks and 6 days and I was wondering if it’s bad for the baby to eat 5-6cups of ice a day ? Does anyone else have this problem?

Answer

No as long as you’re actually eating food too.. it’s actually a good way to stay hydrated. I eat ice like candy too. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I don’t think ice would be bad because whenever it melts it’s literally just water, if anything I think it would be good as long as you’re still eating solid foods too.

Answer

Like others have said, craving ice is a sign of low iron so make sure you have your doctor test it. My mom is severely anemic and had to have an iron infusion the other day. She eats ice like it’s going out of style.

Answer

You need to have your iron checked. Eating ice isn’t going to hurt you but craving it is a sign of anemia which can become an issue.

Answer

I don’t see it being a problem because it’s just water. I craved ice during this pregnancy but my dr told me it was because I had low iron.

Answer

It’s only bad for your teeth pregnant or not.... are you having a girl? They say girls do that to mommas

Answer

Ice itself isn’t bad but is s symptom of low iron levels. Please let your dr know.

Answer

Its probably great because you're getting more water! My mom ate bags and bags of ice when she was pregnant with me. She said she would stand over the sink with a bag of ice and just eat it lol

Answer

It's perfectly fine and good for you, keeps you hydrated. It is a sign of low iron though.

Answer

I eat ice all the time pregnant or not and I don’t have low iron but I would still get tested to make sure your fine.
