Best reason is because its good for you and baby. Usually cravings are our body "needing" something. Also your hormones are different so your temp will fluctuate and the ice will help keep you cool.

Not sure, but , my mom said eating ice was a sign of iron deficinicy. So you may need to ask dr about your iron especially while pregnant.

That was what I was told too. That it is a sign of iron deficiency. I ate alot of ice while I was pregnant and after I had my baby they put me on iron. So I would talk to your doctor and have your iron checked.
