You already know it's not good for your skin,weight,blood sugar levels,etc,but a bit can't harm. My sis drove us all mad with her cravings for oranges...and ashtrays ! She did'nt smoke but she felt the need to buy an ashtray whenever she saw one...and yes,her baby did grow up to be a smoker

I'm 28 weeks pregnant, and I crave chocolate too! And lots of it! haha! It's safe, as long as you don't have diabetes. I'm not sure if you have been checked for gestational diabetes yet, but your Dr. should do that soon. It's a simple blood test, where you drink a sugary drink an hour before they draw your blood. They can tell from that test if you have gestational diabetes. Many women seem to get diabetes while pregnant, but most of the time it goes away after they have the baby. That would be the only concern about eating a lot of sweets. Otherwise, go for it! I always have chocolate or something sweet with me...and I can't get enough chocolate chip cookies! :)
Congrats and good luck!

Having the craving for only chocolate is safe but be cautious as to how much you acutally consume as chocolate contains stimulants such as a minor amount of caffeine and theobromine. Good luck on your pregnancy!http://www.calacademy.org/naturalhistory/chocolate_health.cfm

Don't eat too much chocolate during pregnancy. During pregnancy, it's quite easy to get diabetes and high cholestrol. If you do crave chocolate, try to minimize your intake. Chocolate does have caffeine in them and can cause malfunctions in the baby's brain. Therefore, your doctor would suggest that you reduce your caffeine intake also.

not exactly healthy, but yes, safe
As far as chocolate, I craved fudgecicles and soft chocolate ice cream.

no actually it is not safe because it contains caffeine same reason it is no good to drink soda during pregnancy either
but always remember anything in moderation is good though
one candy bar will not hurt, but 20 will
