Is there such a thing as Too Much Ice?

Yes I am anemic and no I don't take my vitamins and iron pills everyday. Truthfully- I just forget sometimes. Anyway, I love ice! Yesterday I went to Arco twice to fill up my monster cup with crushed ice. I usually have about 2-5 large cups of just ice everyday. DH gets mad. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It goes down just like water right?!?!

    Ice = water.

    No, you can't have too much.

    You really should be taking your meds though.  Maybe put them next to your toothbrush so you don't forget.

    I also do not take my vitamins or iron regularly as of the past 2 weeks. They make me miserable!

    Ice should be fine. I think it would be good for you.

    that's one of the only things they let you have in labor so I say it's fine.  You might want to try just childrens chewable vitamins with added iron, maybe they wouldn't affect you as badly?  Some vitamins are better than none.

    I craved ice like crazy with DD and when tested it was found that I was not anemic so I continued. I'd seriously look forward to it after dinner etc like it was really some kind of dessert! I'd have like 2 cups a day?

    I do crave it a little with this pg but not too much. And I never crave it when not pg. Weird.

    I was always told as a child not to eat ice by my grandmother.. She says it lowers your iron because once water turns into ice the chemicals are different or some such she said my mom got sick as a child once from eating too much ice..I am not sure how true this is as I never cared enough to look (I still like ice on occasion) but that may be why your DH was upset..

    I did find  this link to back that info up..According to that site it also says ice eating is a form of Pica..hm..

    Oh! It's also bad for your teeth :)

    Yeah my doc did say that it was a form of Pica but that didn't concern me too much. Not like I'm eating dirt or paint chips. LOL. My MIL says it gives u air in your stomach but that's just an OWT. Plus just bc she said that I tend to do it more when she's around :) oh and thanks for the suggestion about putting my vitamin and iron in the bathroom. Right now they are on top of my microwave. But that would def make me remember!
