Haha wow wierd...I always chew on ice.. Its so obnoxious if anyone else is around because it makes alot of noise, but I dno.. Chewing gum lately makes me sick to my stomach, so I chew ice instead.




Who's that pic?

My mom craved ice with all of her babies, and ice is made of water, and water is not known to stain your teeth? I think you have a crack pot dentist!

I know that is what I thought, but the only thing I could figure is because most people make their ice from tapwater and maybe that is what she was talking about?! I eat it anyway... It is the only way I can get my water for the day since I hate drinking water... Yeah and I agree with it beind obnoxious, sometimes it gets on my own nerves, but my husband says it doesn't bother him, so I eat on!!

The picture was of my two girls rheana 32 mon and olivia 18 mon
rheana, oddly enough, being the oldest- is the one with less hair!

I have never heard of that from my dentist. The only thing that my dentist told me was to be careful when eating ice because you can chip or crack your teeth. But I eat on

Ok, thanx, not that there were any dangers of me giving it up.... Like I said, that is the only way I can get my water for the day is eating a million pieces of ice!!!!!

Hmm it seem somewhere along the way I have heard that if you are craving ice it's a sympton of iron deficinecy??? I dunno I could be wrong.

I heard that as far as when someone craves dirt, clay, paper, and cornstarch, but not the ice, but it makes sense because I guess the tapwater could have iron in it? I don't know, but I know I don;t have an iron deficiency. Thanx for the insight though I love your picture

It definately doesn't stain your teeth. But it does wear on the enamel. It is not good for you, but I still chew it too. I have a 28 mo. Old and an 8 mo. Old (i saw your close babies, and your preg. Again??!!). Bad news-my daughter loves to chew ice now. I gotta break this bad habit!

Yeah, 14 mon between the girls now and then 18 mon between the two youngest girls when emma is born we wanted them close together, but there was supposed to be a boy in there somwhere???? My two love ice also, I don't want to know it's bad, I was glad that they like something that doesn't have sugar in it, ya know?

Omg I eat ice liek a crazed person at work

My husband would get frustrated because I would pay for a foutain drink at the store but it would be filled to the top with ice and only enough drink to soften the ice a little

We are hoping for a boy eventually. Are you going to have more? I read in another post that you're only 24. I am too. I feel like i'm going insane being 24 and driving my two babies around in my minivan all day to playgroups!

It's called pica. Pica is when you crave non-food items during pregnancy like ice, dirt, ashes, clay, chalk, laundry starch, baking soda, soap, toothpaste, paint chips, plaster, wax, hair, coffee grounds, and even cigarette butts. It may mean you have a n iron deficiency, but that's not necessarily true. Just don't eat ice to replace real food (obviously), and the worst it will probably do is hurt your teeth.

was this for me? No we don;t want anymore, I am haveing my tubes tied, pronto, already on the list. I am 24 also, how old are your babies? My husband wanted a boy, but he understands it is all his doing...The man makes the sex of the baby

ew, hair..Yeah that's what it was, thnx, no trust me I still eat, I should be replacing some food with ice!!! Yeah, it can be a sign if i/d, but not in me (so far anyway) my aunt used to eat notebook paper and I had a lot of friends who like to eat cornstarch straight from the box.

My girls are 28 mos. And 8 months. It is so hard for me. I can't imagine having another one anytime soon. My mom had her tubes tied when she was 26. I remember when I was growing up, she really regreted it. So, i'm going to wait until maybe 38. Well, my husband will wait until he's 40. It's his turn to take some reproductive responsibility in this family.

Shoot we are both getting ours done!!!
I will just wait on grandkids, my mom had hers tied and has never regretted it.. To each hteir own though, huh? My girls, especially the oldest drive me crazy all day while daddy is gone to work, and I can't just go get a job at 9 mon preg, we have to get the girls on the wating list for on base daycare, but there are so many horro stories lately of kids being abused, a guy my husband worked with had his under 1 yr old son at a babysitter, the babysitter got mad and beat the caca out of the baby and the baby had to have half of his brain removed in order to survive the swelling was so bad and still didn;t make it... So sad
my daughter drives me crazy and she gets fussed at and spankings but I would never do anything to seriously hurt her

That's terrible! I was thinking of going back to work because both of mine are driving me crazy. My little one is really a hand full and i'm scared to leave her all day with a sitter. I couldn't handle it if she wasn't mine.

Sometimes they are better with someone else, but I would rather go crazy at home than crazy at work worrying about them at a daycare or whatever
