Im craving dark chocolate so badly these days but my MIL keeps saying avoid all that. Is a small piece really fine? someone pls tell me i can have it haha.
Yes in moderation its fine. I had it both pregnancies, no issues. Just remember it has caffeine so dont eat a whole bar daily, especially if you also drink tea or coffee.
Oh yes I lived on dark chocolate during my cravings phase, haha. A little is totally fine and honestly it lifted my mood. Just dont go overboard since it has caffeine and sugar, a square or two is enough.
Girl, dark chocolate is basically a pregnancy survival kit. Have a piece, smile, and dont let anyone guilt you. Just dont finish the whole Bournville in one sitting like I almost did.
I'd say enjoy a small piece but watch the sugar, especially if your sugar levels are being monitored. I had to be careful with sweets so I kept it minimal. If you have any sugar concern, check with your doctor.
