    No, baby will only take from you what the baby needs.

    This is your 3rd time... What did you eat before? If it affected kids at all, my daughter would have been born a cheeseburger and her name would have been Wendy's. I'm sure you're fine. I eat mostly junk, and I take a Flinstone vitamin everyday to make up for what I am not getting in food. 



    That cheeseburger comment is amazing I love it

    If you're eating a ton of sugar or carbs yes it can effect baby, even if you passed your GD test. I passed and ended up with it towards the end. I didn't know and just indulged. Baby was large and had poor muscle tone and lots of feeding issues.

    To a certain extent, main thing is it can't get what you don't eat/have. So I think most important thing if you don't eat ton of veggies and stuff is to take your prenatal regularly. My baby is on small side and I don't like eating a ton of meat so i also try to get extra protein. However though only 1 doctor out of like 4/5 has mentioned my diet or weight as it relates to baby being small telling me to eat more protein.

    I do not condone it whatsoever and feel lucky but with my first I ate rubbish all day every day, sweets, choc, ben and jerrys, fries etc and gained over 75lb, my baby was only 7.14 and i had no health issues whatsoever neither did he! As i said i wouldnt recommend it tho it was really hard to lose and wouldnt have done any good
