Question

I'm 32 weeks and I haven't been able to kick my sugar cravings. I still eat quite a bit of sugar but not as much as I used to. will this hurt my baby? I do not have gestational diabeties

Answer

Following this cause I'm 32 weeks and have had strong sugar cravings since the beginning and have been worried about it! he's healthy based on scans and blood tests but I'm still worried! All I eat is crap cause I have massive aversions to anything that isn't sugary or super salty... 😭

Answer

I ate sugary things my whole pregnancy and remained perfectly healthy and my son was born with no issues. I think if you're sensible and keep up with your fruit and veg then it's okay to have a glass of coke or some chocolate now and then. But obviously there's a line between satisfying cravings and being ruled by them. If I had a day where I ate a bit too much sugar and fat I'd try to keep it in mind the next day and not overdo it again. It can be hard, but stay mindful of what you're eating and you'll be fine.

Answer

Try to choose the lesser of 2 evils. For example I'd have a scoop of breyers chocolate ice cream a day and a bowl of cocopuffs, better than candy or cookies etc. It helped with my sweet tooth without going overboard.

Answer

I am not big on sweets but my boy has me keeping a bag of Reese's in my desk lol
