Its fine, down to the very day of my birth I was still munching on ice. But the root cause of wanting ice is usually iron deficiency. Check with your gynae your iron count and maybe if it's low, get some iron pills from your gynae. I was on iron pills cause my iron count was like a low 8 when its suppose to be 10 or 11. So i was prescribed with iron pills (Sangobion) and my ice munching craving decreased. But I still munch on ice everyday just that I only munch like a few ice instead of alot. Now that My baby is out, the ice munching craving is totally gone.

yup, ice water, soft drinks. but drink in moderation okay. try not to drink too much gassy drinks as its not so good for the baby and you. (sugar level too)
