Craving for cold water / ice

My Chinese family believe that cold is not good for me and baby but I keep craving for ice cold water and also to chew on ice. Is this normal? Is it okay? #pregnancy

Craving for ice and cold drinks might be due to lack of iron, you may wanna add iron rich food into your meals. And also drink more water if you’re taking iron pills cos it will cause constipation

Omg. I only recently started taking iron pills

if you crave for it go for it but mix with room temp water whenever possible 😁 it’s been weeks i’m drinking cold water daily 😂 as i will nausea once i drink warm water.

Same I can't stand hot drinks except milo and warm milk 😅

I took all kinds cold drinks during my pregnancy, not just cold water. And baby born healthy. Just remember to drink in moderation

Try to limit as much as possible. I try nt to take cold drinks but just can’t help it either.

Drank cold drinks quite regularly during pregnancy too. And desserts. :)

Take it moderately and you’ll be fine. Balance is key
