Is anyone else super thirsty and craving ice all the time? It also seems to be the only thing that keeps my nausea at bay. The ice being so cold seems to help somehow.
I don't remember this with my other two kids. It had me kind of worried that my iron might be low. I've heard craving ice is a symptom of that, but maybe it's just being pregnant since some of you mommas are experiencing the same thing.
If you have a craving for crunching on ice, let your OB know, as it can be a sign of anemia, believe it or not. Otherwise, general thirstiness is all to help us get our blood volumes up for baby! Yay!
Yes, I am very thirsty all the time, but even more so in the evenings. I am an avid water drinker, but I feel like it's increased for sure. And it has to be cold, cold, cold!
I was actually watching I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant this morning and they said craving ice is considered Pica, which as others have said can be caused by anemia or other forms of malnutrition. Good luck.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Ice cold water is the only thing that is keeping my nausea away. I probably fill my 20 oz cup 5 times during the work day.
I am constantly craving ice cold drinks. I will fill a large glass full of ice and add some water then let it sit for 10 mins before I drink it. There is no greater offence in the this house then someone taking a sip of my ice water.
Towards the end of my last pregnancy I ate ice chips all the time. Drove people at work crazy. But there was nothing wrong, I just liked the crunch. I find myself starting this habit already.
I love Sonic ice! We don't have one where I live now.
The only place I have ever had ice that is as good as Sonic was in the hospital when I was in labor. Then again, maybe I just remember it that way because I was starving and it was all I was allowed to have.
