I didn't start eating ice until I was three months into my pregnancy. I was always a person who hated the feeling of chewing ice, didn't even want it in my drinks. One day I walked past the fridge and thought, Hey I want an Ice cube. Within two weeks time I could't supply my needs at home, I had to start buying it by the bag. I had a two bag a week habit, and company had to bring there own ice, no joke. Well this went on for over a year, I drove my boyfriend crazy. He would lean in to kiss me and I would start crackin' chips. Before we left a resteraunt, all the ice out of the icewaters were eaten or I wasn't leaving. I went to Cincinnatti to visit a friend and drove around for half an hour at midnight to get my ice, and ate an entire bag on the drive there. It was scary, when I thought I may not have access to ice, I would get nervous. Well, come to find out my Iron levels were dangerously low. After two treatments of IV iron, I no longer crave the cruchy goodness of ice chips. The same bag has been sitting in my freezer for over a month, but at least my gums no longer bleed from the constant crunching. Good luck to all of you, and maybe I'll be back the next time I'm with child.
