Is it okay to NOT give into pregnancy cravings?

Question

I’ve been told that it can be bad if you don’t give into pregnancy cravings. Anyone else heard of this? Is it true?

Answer

Nope it’s fine to not give in lol

Answer

If I ate everything I wanted every time I wanted to eat, I don't think I would ever stop eating all day long. (Let's face it, I barely stop now even with trying to control myself!) I think the health of both baby and myself would be at much greater risk if I spent nine months stuffing myself with all the junk that sounds delicious.

Answer

If I didn’t resist my cravings, I’d gain a hundred pounds this pregnancy lol. That’s not true at all.

Answer

Idk if it’s bad or not but my doctor did tell me that if I’m craving something to give in to it because it’s something that the baby is needing

Answer

If you have certain restrictions that forbids you from consuming certain food and/or drinks, then you should abstain even if you crave it really bad.

Answer

I give in to as much as I can because it's all I can think about 😂😂😂 can't imagine fighting it.

Answer

Yes. It’s fine. But it’s also fine to give in!! 😂😂❤️

Answer

I’m sure it’s perfectly safe but I was always told if you don’t at least have a taste of what you crave your baby will be born with strawberry birthmarks 🤣 old wives tale of course

Answer

No it’s fine. I can’t give into mine, all I want is food from my childhood which is hundreds of miles away. It was the same with my son, you won’t harm the baby by not eating your cravings

Answer

They only say it’s bad because you’re more likely to binge later as with any healthy eating. It’s not really bad
