Chocolate in pregnancy

[Claire2225]

Hi, had or are you getting chocolate cravings in pregnancy?? I’m not usually a chocolate person but I can’t help but fave in and eat some even thought I shouldn’t and I’m worried it’s not good for the baby I aren’t eating loads but still I’m not used to wanting it, I never had this type of craving in my last pregnancy I just want to know had anyone else had this and are there little ones ok xxx

Hello! Congratulations on your pregnancy! I ate a lot (and I mean a LOT) of chocolate during my pregnancy... I had chocolate everyday, funnily my baby would kick with the sound of the wrapper... I have a very healthy baby with six months now... you just need to take care if you had diabetes previously or are prone to it...

I had a very balanced diet when pregnant and had my chocolate treat... you just need to check if it's craving or nutritional needs...

Best of luck

Thank you my diet is balanced and and taking me pregnancy multivitamins too I just seem to get this sudden urge to want chocolate it’s strange coz I’m not a chocolate person lol x

Maybe the baby will be... I don't like curry and during my pregnancy I would salivate just passing in front of every Indian restaurant...

It’s strange how your badly changes so much, my body hadn’t even got over my last pregnancy my son is 20weeks old and I’m 12weeks 4days pregnant lol!! My miracle babies after 3 failed Ivf attempts xxx

I'm the opposite. Before I was pregnant I would eat chocolate everyday; now I haven't had any for months. The only thing to be careful of is the caffeine content, especially if you are still drinking coffee/tea. My partner told me either one coffee a day or chocolate...luckily I've not wanted chocolate or mornings wouldn't be very happy lol

I don’t do coffee or coke or anything tbh I have only had the odd children’s sized bar of chocolate it’s coz I’m not used to eating it and it’s thrown me that’s all lol 😊
