Are we allowed to eat Chocolate!???

Corey QCorey Q
in May 2012 Moms

So can we eat chocolate or can't we??? I'm not going to lie. My son's trick or treat candy called my name a few times. Whoppers and Milky Ways...Mmmmmm. They were the little ones.

Is is one of those things where a bite here and there is ok? Moderation? There is a lot of candy left. If its not ok to eat I'm going to have my son keep it in his room :)

    Yes.  Just remember chocolate has caffeine in it so you want to make sure you're not eating too much.

    Yes, the only concern is the caffeine. My OB with DS told me to eat chocolate when I had headaches!

    Heck, yeah we can eat chocolate!   As long as you're eating the healthy stuff you're supposed to eat, and not over-eating too much, a candy bar now and again is not going to hurt.  (I mean, unless you get diagnosed with GD or something, in which case, you should probably resist the urge)

    I absolutely eat chocolate!  I can't imagine there's enough caffeine in a snack sized candy car (or two!) to make that much of a difference.  Like pp said, as long as you're eating healthy otherwise, go for it and enjoy!

    I have never ever heard of it not being okay to eat chocolate.  The concerns would be caffeine (you would have to eat a LOT to add up to a cup of coffee) and too much sugar (but how much are we eating anyway?!)  It is just like any other food.  Don't go crazy.  But going crazy on candy isn't a good idea for anyone, pregnant or not.

    I've snacked on it here and there. But I heard someone say it was bad cause of the caffeine. That's why I asked on The Bump! My weakness has been ice cream and for some reason I've been eating my son's tapioca cups :)

    A pregnant person I know wouldn't eat part of a piece of chocolate cake " because it has caffeine in it". I wanted to punch her in the face. Eat the chocolate.

    Here is a link for how much caffeine is in Hershey's products. It doesn't nearly add up to the 1-2 cups of coffee my OB said was fine to have per day. HTH!

    My OB told me to avoid chocolate and if I need it to eat no more than a hershey kiss amount a day. I will have to ask her more about why at my 12 week appointment.

    moderation is the key.  just have one!  i find "out of sight out of mind" works best for me - once i get a taste it's easy to lose control.  halloween was cancelled in our town (due to power outages) so i was stuck with 3 bags of reese's pb cups...  as painful as it was i threw 2 away because i knew i'd cave if i had to look at them!!  i actually learned from the other 1 that chocolate seems to give me really bad heartburn now... if it helps to have another reason to avoid chocolate :)
