Will eating junk food harm my baby?

Question

I've been really scared about eating too much junk cause i'm afraid of hurting my baby. I don't care about weight gain since i had awful awful morning sickness and am actually a lower weight than before i got pregnant and i'm 24 weeks. But i just gave in and ate like 6 reese's peanut butter bars (Betty crocker no bake) is my baby going to suffer from that? I try to eat a balanced diet but today gave in :/ Also i just got tested this week for Gestational Diabetes and i don't have it.

Answer

I mean if you were eating ONLY junk food the entire time then I would say be concerned. If you're just treating yourself it's no biggie

Answer

You and your baby will be fine. Obviously don't go eating junk ALL the time, but if your other meals are still relatively healthy and balanced then go ahead and indulge in some junk food. It's good for the soul when you're pregnant lol.

Answer

Chocolate has caffeine too so just keep that in mind. If you're dumping that much sugar into your blood in one sitting (close to or over a cup) it is definitely going to hurt you because your pancreas is already working overtime since you're pregnant. Just visualize a cup of sugar in your blood stream. You're putting yourself at risk for gestational diabetes and setting your baby up for poor eating habits and obesity later in life. Try finding healthy recipes on Pinterest! A berry crumble sweetened with honey that you make yourself is not only tasty but really healthy for your baby. And make sure you're exercising every single day for at least 30 minutes. Good luck 😊

Answer

baby wont be affected maybe a sugar rush and move like crazy but that is a ton of sugar holy moly lol

Answer

I hope not, otherwise my baby is going to be so messed up! It's only an issue if you're obese and/or are predisposed or have gestational diabetes.

Answer

A binge on something bad here or there isn't going to hurt.  If 98% of the time you are doing well it's ok if that 2% happens

Answer

It wont affect the baby unless its too much sugar then you can get gd and may give birth early.

Answer

It's not going to kill them but it's still not good for you or baby to just not give a fuck. Being picky isn't a reason to eat a ton of Reese's. I'd find something healthier to put into your body.
