Can we eat dark chocolate in pregnancy?

Question

Im 14 weeks and craving chocolate so bad, dark chocolate especially. But then i read somewhere about caffeine in it and got a little confused. Is a small piece ok daily or should i be careful?

Oh dark chocolate was my saviour during cravings, honestly. I kept a small bar and had a piece or two when I felt low. So satisfying and not too guilty.

Tripti Dalal · Answer

I used to have a little chocolate when I felt like, it was no problem for me. Just not too much daily. Enjoy a small piece, it is okay.

Radha Yadav · Answer

In moderation it is fine, the only thing to keep in mind is the small caffeine content. Most doctors are okay with a little chocolate. If you have any condition, a quick word with your doctor settles it.

If chocolate was banned in pregnancy I would have filed a complaint, ha. A few pieces are totally fine yaar. Just maybe not the entire family size pack in one sitting.

Arre eat it na, dont stress so much. A little chocolate makes the mood better which is also good for you. Just dont go overboard daily.

Geethika Oswal · Answer

Yes you can have dark chocolate, just in a sensible amount. It does have some caffeine so dont finish a whole bar in one go. A few squares when you crave it is perfectly okay.

I had to watch sugar so I kept chocolate very limited. Dark is a bit better than milk chocolate for sugar but still in moderation. If you have any sugar concern just check with your gynac on quantity.
