Craving chocolate like crazy these days, cant help it. But everyone keeps telling me cut down on sugar. Thoda confused if a little bit is okay or not, anyone?
You can absolutely eat it, but try to limit the amount because of the caffeine and high sugar content. Dark chocolate is actually a better option as it has antioxidants, but stick to a couple of squares a day.
I was very cautious and asked my doctor about everything I ate. She told me a small piece of good quality dark chocolate is safe and actually helps lower stress levels, which made me feel much better.
A small piece is fine, but try home-made hot cocoa if you want to avoid too many artificial preservatives. However, if you are getting severe headaches or high blood pressure, avoid sweets and call your gynac.
Yes, definitely! I had severe chocolate cravings and ate a few pieces of dark chocolate almost every day, and my toddler is perfectly healthy and fine. Enjoy your treat without guilt!
Of course you can eat it, pregnancy is not a sickness where you can't eat anything sweet. Just don't finish a whole family pack in one day, keep it moderate and you are good.
I was so worried about the caffeine level in cocoa that I completely stopped eating chocolate during my first trimester. Looking back, a small bite would have been totally harmless, so don't stress yourself like I did!
