addiction to drinking cold water and chewing on ice cubes! :/

Before I was even pregnant I was always drinking cold water and chewing ice cubes. Now that im pregnant is still do it but my mother and other older lady tell me to stop due to after birth I will start shivering and get sick! Is this really true or is it a myth?
Im now 20 weeks and  3 days gone, ive tried to stick with normal tap water but its not as refreshing as cold ice water.
Please help! :)

Its a myth. You arent going to get sick or shiver because you like ice and cold water lol.

Yeah the eating ice is related to low iron so I would have your doctor check it and your baby could just like water lol

I'm not sure about it making you sick but I do know that eating ice is a sign of low iron..I have been eating ice like crazy and at my last apt I told me Dr about it and she checked my iron and sure enough it was low..now I'm taking iron pills twice daily!
