Over the past month I have developed this crazy need to chew on ice. I will chomp down at least 10 cups or more of ice a day. I love the stuff and just can't seem to get enough of it. I thought it was just a crazy phase I was going through needing something to keep my mouth busy so I didn't keep eating everything else in the house. Then the other night Chuck came into bed and said he'd just been listening to a podcast on food cravings and they said that if you're pregnant and crave ice it can mean your anemic and you should talk to your doctor. I started laughing thinking he was joking. But then I listened to the podcast myself and started doing a little research. Sure enough it can be a sign of anemia. So I guess I'll talk to the doctor about my constant need to eat delicious ice at my next appointment and hopefully he won't think I'm too weird!

did you not read my blog when i was pregnant....its pica, and your anemic! ;-)
Oh good, I am glad it wont be a permanent fix for you, you were making me nervous with your ice fix!
Oh yes I know how that is. I have been anemic with both pregnancies and loved chewing on ice. Some people crave dirt or laundry detergent (no joke).
