Yes I eat a lit of ice too with both pregnancies and was iron deficiencies with both.. Get your blood tested and if low tmake supplements (I like feramax because it doesn't make me sick)
Doc said it's important because you lose blood at delivery and need it to recover.. If your tired alot you'll feel way better too

Agreed ^^^^ I'm also anemic and craved ice so I would definitely talk to your doctor. But as far as ice being harmful I don't I've itself would be it might be hard on your teeth because we loose a lot of calcium when we r pregnant. Good luck. I wish you the best.

Your probably low on iron , b4 I was pregnant I would always ice that's the only thing I wanted to eat. Than I found out i was anemic because I was low on iron that's why I would always eat ice. You should tell your doctor about it, but to be honest idk if it's bad during pregnancy eating ice alot.
