Ice + Baby

Can eating a lot of ice affect the baby?... I eat ice every single day. Literally a huge foam cup of it. I'm wondering if like does it make my baby cold or something? Can baby get a brain freeze or make him anemic or something?....  I may sound stupid or crazy but I'm just wondering.

I don't think it effects the baby. But you can gain alot of water weight if you eat enough of it.

Eating ice makes your body work harder to stay warm which in turn burns calories, you need large amounts of water while pregnant it's good for you and baby. if you consume it in the form of ice that's fine too, it does not make baby cold he/she is in the perfect temperature the only time baby's temperature fluctuates is if you get a fever.

Eating ice cannot cause you or baby to be anemic, but craving ice can mean that you are anemic. But no, ice does not cause anemia.
