My mother ate coal when she was pregnant with me.
I would think that would do more damage than ice cubes would.

I can tell you straight up as a midwife with 16yrs experience that eating ice cubes does not cause stillbirth.
sadly people latch on to any possible reason when they have such a tragedy so undoubtedly her mother inlaw is more misinformed than malicious.
Please explain to her that icecubes are only water and all they will do is make her pee,the only way they could be any problem at all is if they were made from contaminated water which is highly unlikely.

Thanks everyone
when she rings im gonna read the posts out to her

Oooh....................ask her to let me know if she needs me:))

hey stinky,i ate settlers by the packet load....he turned out ok...all 8lb 6oz of him ouch.....mind you hes always been windy lol.xxx

I must say my mother in law was convinced that hanging the washing out put the babies cord around its neck.
There was no telling her and when I pointed out my proffession and knowledge she just shook her head so....
I let her peg my washing out for the end of all my pregnancies.
now if only she thought all the housework was dangerous I would have been on a winner ....

Oh for flip's sake, fancy telling her that load of nonsense! Poor girl, bet she's scared witless.

Show her this thread, Rosie, but don't let her MIL see it lol!

what a load of twaddle, scaring her like that could do more harm than ice cubes...............what a twit

Tania thank you soo much
Rosex

Fortunately the following happened to me before I became pregnant with my first child.

I ate an ice lolly which chilled my stomach and gave me the most severe cramps. I was in agony for about a week.

That would be the only reason I'd advise to be cautious with the ice cubes.

My Sis craved ice all the time she was pregnant and was forever crunching ice cubes......normal baby, normal birthweight and now my niece is 32 and has a high powered job.......so it didn't do any harm whatsoever.......

.....best thing is to take no notice.....her wellbeing is more important.....

Hi Yes!! my Craving was ice cubes in milk and i had to crunch them!! lol drove him mad but gave birth to 2 healthy 10+lb ders now 20 +16 do what she feels she wants to bless her and enjoy her pregnancy!
emx

now then........a REAL craving is for Jellied eels!!

thats what MY missus was on!!
when my daughter was born my missus said it was like shellin' peas......."pop" n out she came......

I dont want to be a scare monger but it is dangerous to drink too much water.I think much more than ice cubes lol never heard of ice cubes causing a miscarrige or stillborn.My grandson was stillborn and after post mortem could not find a cause and put it down to natural causes.I think perhaps they are looking for a answer.I hope the baby is born very healthy.
