Is eating a lot of ice and Sunflower seeds bad for my pregnancy?

I have horrible morning sickness and what seems to help me is sucking on ice. It keeps me from thinking of throwing up. I also have been eating salted Sunflower seeds everyday. It settles my stomach. Are these bad for me?

No - BUT...





If you are craving ice they say that could be a sign of a vitamin deficiency (I think they call it pica). Make sure you're taking your prenatal vitamins!
Reply:Ice is fine, after all it is water. I suppose sunflower seeds are fine too but not a great source of nutrients and they are high in sodium.
Reply:Sunflower seeds are fine and the salt on them helps your blood flow better and the ice you can suck on all day long.Just don't start to chew ice cuz it can make your teeth soft and your teeth get cruddy while pregnant so don't chew the ice.
Reply:my doc stressed and stressed NO ICE.. he said that it lowers your iron. which you need.. i craved popsicles b/c i was pregant in the summer and he said NO lol.. he said that when you eat ice and cold stuff like that it makes it where your stomanch and bdy will not take in iron. and a lot of salt can make you swell, other than that i dunno..
Reply:Both are healthy and good for you. If your healthy the salt shouldn't be bad for you. I love sunflower seeds and eat them all the time.
Reply:No, of course not. Sunflower seeds are very healthy, in fact, i've been eating them everyday, too! I'm at 10 weeks with my first. What a coincidence.
Reply:ice is good because it keeps ur fluids up
Reply:no. They are VERY healthy and will be very good to help make a healthy baby:)
Reply:l don`t think lts bad to eat while preggy
