can excessive sugar harm baby?

Question

i've always had a really sweet tooth and preferred sweet to savoury, so the fact that im craving sweets while pregnant is not much of a surprise to me. however, my dad said that i should cut down because it can result in a sugar overloaded baby?! is this true? what can happen? i really dont want to hurt my baby!

Answer

You want to watch the amount you consume. But I my dr insists it really can't do that much damage. The baby size at birth is based on genetics along with health once they're out of the womb. Your body gives the baby what the baby needs, so generally it alters it some. You do want to watch how much you eat, it can really effect your physical health and well being during pregnancy

Answer

Your baby eats what you eat. So yes, too much sugar is bad. It can result in a bigger baby. You needing a c-section. Childhood diabetes and obesity.
