Is it safe to eat dark chocolate during pregnancy?

Question

Honestly the cravings are real these days and i keep wanting dark chocolate. Im 14 weeks. Is a small piece daily fine or should i avoid because of caffeine? anyone else craving this?

Omg yes please, dark chocolate was my saviour during cravings! A few squares is totally okay. Just remember it has caffeine so dont finish a whole bar in one go like I almost did haha.

Safe in moderation. I tracked my caffeine on an app and dark chocolate does add a bit, so I just kept total caffeine under what doctor said. A couple pieces a day was no problem.

Yeah few squares are fine, I used to keep some in my bag for evening slump at work. Just dont have it late night, the caffeine kept me up once.

Dont worry, a little dark chocolate is perfectly okay and honestly good for the mood. Just moderate amounts and you are fine dear.

Small amount is fine. Just keep in mind dark choc has caffeine, so count it with your tea coffee for the day. Both my pregnancies I had a little and no issues at all.
