Pregnant women should always get their blood glucose level done during the first trimester(first three months) and then again during the last trimester(last three months) to rule out gestational diabetes.It is found that pregnant women who have gestational diabetes may develop overt diabetes in future.More over pregnant women with altered glucose level tend to have large birth weight babies,hence may have difficulty during labour.It is not that all pregnant women should avoid sweets,only those with altered glucose level should avoid sweets.

I had to limit caffeine because I had heart palpatations. That included chocolate because it contains caffeine. But I continued to eat other sweets. Maybe they are worried about weight, or gestational diabetes. I don't think that this is a rule for all pregnant women. Each pregnancy is different and they all require their own unique restrictions, if any at all.

Women frequently develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy, no matter how healthy they are. Since your blood sugar is succeptible to fluctuation anyway, avoiding sweets decreases the chances of it spiking up too high or developing this type of diabetes.

If heer doctor advised her to avoid sweets it is because she has a high risk of developing gestational diabetes. Avoiding things with too much sugar can help prevent the health risks to her and the baby.

She must be having positive family history of diabetes and have a predisposition to gestational diabetes, which goes off after delivery. However women who have had gestational diabetes are prone to pick up diabetes later in life.

Well, it just makes your baby really active. Sugar will do that to anyone. And also, doctor's want a pregnant women to eat healthy so that the baby will get everything he/she needs. She might have high sugar. Diabetes maybe?

Some women develop a form of diabetes during their pregnancies. It is called "Gestational Diabetes" and usually disappears within 4 weeks of giving birth
