I love it and for me I think it's just because it's so cold! My 3 year old will sit there with me and share my ice! Lol

I chewed ice my entire pregnancy last time. I crave it now but hubby thinks I'm insane. I could go buy a 20 lb bag of ice and chew it all in a week.

My ice chewing started in the middle of my pregnancy with my son. I loveddd crushed ice, it was odd, i enjoyed it like i was eating a big bowl of ice cream and cake lol. My iron levels were just a tad bit low but nothing drastic. Im still early with thos pregnancy and im actually looking forward for that craving to come back !

You are not alone I am addicted to chewing ice as well. I ask around and looked up some information that states chewing ice is a sign of anemia. Ice chewing can also just be stress related or what they Saud a behavioral thing.
