Hi there. Well, maybe not but you need to talk to your doctor about this because craving ice can be a sign of anemia. I have no idea why but it is a phenomenon that occurs. So, tell your doctor about it so they can make sure your iron levels are okay. good luck
^^^Yep. Ice cravings are often a sign of anemia.
Wouldn't they know? I'm a healthy person. What does that mean?
I craved ice chips for both of my pregnancies and i was 100% healthy i didnt have anemia
I craved ice up untill 3 moths ago and i am perfectly healthy and dont have anemia. My doctor said its normal. So i think you will be fine
Me two. With my first baby all I ate was ice. I'm healthy an so is my daughter
Anemia is a lack of iron in your blood. They would only know if they checked for it, so definitely let your doctor know (: craving ice doesn't necessarily mean you have it, just could be a sign. and if you do, you just take an iron supplement, so not a huge deal.
Hi, here's the link from the Mayo clinic and if you do a google search, you will see that there is a link between ice craving and anemia. They don't know if you are anemic by looking at you and often women take a while to show symptoms. Here is the link to some information about it:

And I'm not saying that you have this, I'm saying that you should mention it to your doctor to make sure you don't. good luck
You may have anemia... or it can just be a craving.... or you're just dehydrated... but I'm sure if you do have anemia your doc will tell you once you have your blood tested... i crave ice like crazyyyyyyy!! && i don't have anemia... soooo go figure.. lol..
I craved ice also nd the only thang they said was my iron was low and gave me iron pills
Having low iron is really what anemia is babykingsmommy. :>) I'm glad they caught it and gave you iron pills. good luck
Well that explains it lol iddnt kno what anemia was!
I know . . . why do they have like two languages for everything? One that just says what it is and another that is like some weird word?? Confusing!
Lol iknoo ! I usually asks my Dr. All kinds of questions!
Hey so omg!! For my first pregnancy thats all I craved and def!! Was not anemic. I crunched ice day and night.
