Im 5 months along and my sweet tooth has gone crazy, want mithai and chocolate all the time. now im worried im having too much sugar. how much is actually okay during pregnancy?
My gynac said normal amounts are okay but excess sugar raises the risk of gestational diabetes and too much weight gain. She had me do the glucose test as routine. So enjoy in moderation and keep up your sugar screening.
I had gestational diabetes so I had to watch sugar very carefully. Too much sugar can spike your levels and lead to problems, so moderation really matters. Natural sugar from fruit is fine, but cut down on sweets and sugary drinks, and get your sugar tested as your doctor advises.
A little sugar is fine, but loading up on sweets and colas isnt good in pregnancy. I kept it in check both times and leaned on fruit when I wanted something sweet. Balance is the key, not total ban.
