I am curious mums, I craved so much ice during my first two as well as this pregnancy. I constantly have an ice bucket on the dining table. Is it something that anyone else has experienced too?

An excessive craving for ice is actually thought to be a symptom of iron deficiency. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/iron-deficiency-anemia/expert-answers/chewing-ice/faq-20057982

It is okay to take ice once in a while. But it might indicate iron deficiency if constantly craving for ice. http://www.livestrong.com/article/515328-eating-ice-while-pregnant/

i loved bubble tea during my first tri! the weather was terrible and i was constantly perspiring - so iced drinks were awesome!

thanks

Yup, super normal. I am an ice crunching machine!
