I have been craving sweet bread with mix fruit jam so much lately! I eat it almost every morning but now I'm wondering if too much processed sugar is bad for the baby. Are you guys eating store-bought jam or organic ones?
Yes, jam is safe to eat, but please make sure you don't eat too much of it because of the high sugar content. After my past experience, I became very paranoid about preservatives, so I preferred making a simple apple jam at home without any chemicals.
I also eat a spoonful of strawberry jam whenever I feel low on energy, but then I instantly feel guilty about the preservatives. Does anyone else get these sudden sugar cravings in their second trimester, or is it just me?
It is safe but honestly, it's just pure sugar and empty calories, which won't help you stay active. I prefer having fresh fruits instead, which gives me the energy to do my daily 30-minute walks that my doctor permitted.
When I had terrible morning sickness, bread with a little sweet jam was the only thing I could digest without throwing up. Don't stress too much about 'perfectly healthy' eating right now; if jam is what stays down, go ahead and eat it in moderation.
