There are actually studies that show that eating chocolate while PG is GOOD.

Chocolate and chocolate chip cookies are empty calories and you fill up on empty calories you won't be interested in eating healthy foods that you and the baby both need. Indulging once in chocolate or cookies is fine once in a while as long as you aren't eating a lot of them all the time.

As with any time, you shouldn't load up on empty calories. it's a waste for the baby and yourself. Plus, large amounts of chocolate can cause the baby to be addicted to caffine. Why not some fruit or juice to cut the sweet tooth? Or reduced calorie pudding? Try hard to pack calories with nutrition. Good Luck!

I don't know who told you that eating chocolate was bad but they are crazy! If they try to tell you it's because of the caffeine then they are misinformed. Did you know that one whole Hershey bar has LESS caffeine than a DECAFFEINATED cup of coffee!? Go ahead and have some Chocolate!

I've never heard anything about chocolate being bad for you while pregnant.....but everything in moderation, eh?
And yeah, I'm sure a few cookies would be ok too!!!

You can eat some chocolate. Just don't overdo it. Two or three candy bars a week will not hurt the baby.

Chocolate contains caffeine......when you have caffeine your heart starts to speed up, well your heart is not the only one that it is going to effect. Although they say you can have small amounts of caffeine....depending on the doctor.
