I'm 38 weeks and cannot wait to eat all the ice chips while in the hospital. I was in triage over the weekend with false labor and all I did was eat ice chips. Am I the only one?
No ma'am! With my last pregnancy I started craving ice around 30 weeks and craved it after she was born. Lol I made my husband, bf at the time, drive to an all night store to get me a bag of ice. Lol What was weird for me was craving dirt and ice. Lol Ice cravings are normal from what I hear though so munch on!
I'm on my 33rd week and I'm chewing ice right now as I'm typing this response. Lol, I've been having the urge to chew ice and when there's no more in my cup I head back to the freezer for the ice tray, lol.
I just went in and smashed a bunch of ice to eat. I was in heaven when it snowed.lol I crave dirt with each pregnancy (this is my 3rd). I even looked up dirt that is safe to eat. Whitedirt.com haha extreme,I know.
Me too! I eat ice constantly, turns out its because I have super low iron and I'm anemic. Craving ice or dirt or clay is supposed to be symptoms of low iron. I'm on iron pills now plus the prenatal and still eat ice constantly lol.
Yup craved ice like crazy with my twins...it means you have an iron deficiency. Nothing to freak out over but you should tell your doc and start a supplement.
Omg I thougth I was the only one really I love the hospital ice and jack in the box its like snow and thats thats I'm 39weeks and he still doesnt want to come lol but other then holding him I think thats what I waiting for to
I work in a hospital and could eat all the ice I want. Ice is something I've never craved. 24 weeks. If I get the cravings later on I guess I will have the hook up.
@native_mama24 that hilarious,I keep my ice trays full at all times. @cant_wait93 I'm with you,holding my son is what I've been waiting for,the ice is simply a bonus.
I be wanting ice so I just get a big cup of water with lots of ice in it.... my first pregnancy I alwayssss ate plain ice n ended up in the hospital because of dehydration.. I was eaTing too much ice n not drinking lots of fluids so be careful and drink lots of water and or juice n not just plain ice...
