I became an ice muncher
So everyone knows I hate ice and never take it in my drinks or ever have an ice tray in the freezer. Well all of a sudden I am craving ice and just want to munch on it all day. I ate fresh snow off my balcony and it's becoming a weird obsession. I don't like big ice chunks but like crushed ice ???. Omg I'm so weird right now. 6 more weeks to go ??
That's no good, I'm sure mine will be lower too, I'm doing another blood draw next week. My midwife suggested almond butter?? Says it's high in iron, eat a few spoons a day, or put it in a milk shake or with toast ect. I'm started to get worried for birth now so I'm trying my best to increase my hbg lvls.
@Kimtee Omg I just bought a hawian snow cone maker too. I eat it about 3-4X a day. It's the besttt. The ice comes out as fluffy snow. ??
When you get your iron checked ask that they check your feratin as well. This s your back up iron. Your hemoglobin could look normal and you could have significantly low feratin. They ran this test on me and I had a feratin if 5 ( you want at least 100) I have to get iron infusion every other week until I deliver. But it significantly Lowers the chance of complications!
I'm the same. Usually I hate it. I was the same in my 1st pregnancy too. I have crushed ice at work and bigger cubes at home. I'm scared I'm going to rip my mouth open because I need to put it in my mouth when its really cold so it cracks, but it sticks to my lips and tongue. Its prettty weird...
I thaught i was the only one. I crave it so bad I stand in front of my freezer digging in the ice bag. I dont like big chunks either, I'll dig for the smaller sized pieces. My husband says why don't you just get a cup, and we'll for me eating It out of the cup isn't as satisfying as standing in front of the fridge. Im also obsessed with the smell of the freezer ? my iron levels are low, but there getting better.
Yea im anemic but with my first pregnancy I never craved ice. Lol it's just so intense jezze
Lol I am the same way I LOOOOOOVE ice and I got my level of iron checked and everything checked out normal... it’s a normal/common craving during pregnancy , especially during the 3rd trimester. I am constantly munching on ice and my coworkers and boyfriend are always laughing at me watching me munch away! Lol I just know after pregnancy my teeth will need a good look at ?
Usually this is a sign your iron levels are low! It might not hurt to take an iron supplement.
