Yes, but you really should limit the junk food intake. I know that it's hard when those cravings hit, but in general junk food isn't good for you. Best of luck to you....

Yes. In moderation it's fine but potato chips like any other junk food is made of empty calories that don't help you or the baby. Indulge once in a while but try to get the vast majority of your caloric intake from nutrient rich food. Good luck.

Actually the question should be "Can you stop yourself from eating Potato Chips while pregnant?"
I think in excess it would be bad due to high salt intake but otherwise I do not see any problem with them.

yes, I am eight months pregnant and I am eating potato chips and drinking a cherry coke right now!!!
Just not not too many.
I ate crazy things in all of my pregnancies. this is my sixth kid.
I'm still fine, just be sure to balance out what junk you eat with fruits and veggies!!!

Of course! Baked potato chips are healthiest.

Yes, I did. However, eat them in moderation, because the salt could cause your feet and ankles and even hands to swell if you retain fluid. I loved the veggie chips and they were much healthier.

YES YOU CAN...I GO TO THE BATHROOM ALOT AT NIGHT , SO MY DOCTOR SUGGESTED EATING POTATO CHIPS BECAUSE IT WILL ABSORB THE LIQUIDS. SO I GUESS THAT MEANS WE CAN EAT POTATO CHIPS.

You can, but they are just empty calories. They will not provide good nutrition for you or the baby, but will cause you to gain unneeded weight. That can result in pregnancy complications later on. Of course, I'm speaking worse case senario - eating them a lot. I just got in trouble from my doctor. :D

Yes just try not to eat too much salt. It could result in problems. You need to ask your doctor. Exactly how much salt and sugar in take is okay for you and your baby.
