  I could eat ice all day! I think it can sometimes be a sign of low iron levels though...

  I've also been eating ice all day. My OB says my iron is fine. I started taking hemaplex (plant based iron) and a zinc supplement in addition to my prenatals but nothing's helping yet. I've cut the hell out of my mouth but I still can't stop.
  
  My favorite kind is ice that is partially unfrozen in the center so it's "juicy!"

  I constantly have a cup of juice or water with ice in it to munch on. My favorite ice is the pellet ice that I get from Costco's soda machine outside. It's soft and so easy to eat. But at home I obviously don't have that ice so I fill up the ice trays maybe a quarter of the way so that way they start to melt a bit quicker... And are way easier to eat. I was anemic with my first DS which is what caused me to crave ice... But with this pregnancy my iron levels are normal so not sure why I want it so badly. Either way... I can't live without my ice. I'm glad I'm not alone!

  I eat ice all day too. My iron levels are great, just my big craving I suppose.
  Until baby time, we will just all annoy our husbands with the constant crunching:)

  My iron levels are great and I am loving ice. I always have loved ice though, so I think that's just my "normal".
