Can i eat jam during pregnancy?

Question

I love having jam on my toast for breakfast, especially homemade ones. I'm pregnant now and wondering if it's okay to continue eating jam during pregnancy, or should I limit it? I'm concerned about the sugar content too.

I have been eating bread and jam almost every morning, is anyone else having these sweet cravings? My doc said in moderation it's totally okay.

A little bit of jam is fine occasionally, but try to track your sugar intake on an app. Homemade jam with less sugar is a much healthier option.

I got so worried about preservatives and high sugar in store-bought jams! If you are anxious like me, ask your doctor or switch to fresh fruits.

Since I have a history of PCOS, I had to be very careful with processed sugar during pregnancy. A little bit is fine, but don't eat it daily.

Yes, you can eat it, but keep an eye on the sugar content. I had thyroid and borderline sugar, so my doctor told me to limit sweet spreads.
