Yes, but eating healthier things will produce a healthier baby and save you the hassle of having lots of weight to lose after you give birth.
Try to stick with healthy foods and add small amounts of junk food if you can. I would rather see someone eat lots of candy then smoke, drink or use drugs during pregnancy.

When you are pregnant you should eat healthily but sweets in moderation is just fine. During pregnancy your blood sugar can fall so I kept a candy bar with me all the time.

Yes, Why not unless you are a diabetic.
Eat healthier things. I ate Watermelon, Carrots, celery and Reese's Peanut butter cups.
It's not like you are going to make a three course meal out candy, Right? Your body craves different things because of not eating the right stuff.
Good Luck

This is the one point in your life where you can control exactly what your child consumes. If you don't want your child eating candy when they're born, then don't do it while they're in urtero. If you want something sweet go for all natural stuff like fruit. Or make your own fruit pops.

Yes...and your child will LOVE TO EAT CANDY ( i.e., "SUGAR")
when he/ she becomes a toddler.
Natural candies contain fructose,...and FRUITS all contain REAL "natural" sweeteners such as fructose.
Go to a NATURAL FOODS store,...or a FARMERS MARKET to purchase fresh fruits (and vegetables) and TASTE THEM YOUR SELF to see which ones are SWEET to your taste.
Then, search for THE SWEETEST natural fruits and vegetables,
and you'll discover which ones are THE MOST NATURALLY SWEETEST to your taste!
NOW, you'll know which kinds of candy YOU loved to eat while you were pregnant,...and better still, which kinds of CANDY YOUR CHILD WILL LOVE TO EAT when they are able to choose.
"Teach your children well"! CALL FRUITS CANDY, and your child will learn to LOVE CANDY!

of course you can but you should moderate the amounts of bad food you eat as that could be linked to some kind of behavior later in your childs life.....some study will say it you just wait and see

Yes, you can. But you shouldn't drink alcohol or smoke. You can find out more about a healthy diet for you and your baby on the web.
