I don't know if I would call it good. But if you are having a craving it is nice to cave into it every now and again! Just try to take it easy on the chocolate.

I ate almost anything I craved for when I was pregnant. My OB-Gyne said it's ok to eat anything as long as I don't overdo it. I'm not a coffee drinker so I guess eating chocolates was not really a big issue although I'm really a chocoholic. She just encouraged me to eat more fruits and vegetables. My baby turned out well so i don't think I did anything wrong by eating some yummy chocolates.
If you really enjoy chocolates, you might be interested to know that Dove is giving away free samples of milk and dark chocolates in some major U.S. cities. Maybe they're doing it in your city. Here's the list: Baltimore/Washington DC, Boston MA, Chicago IL, Houston TX, Los Angeles CA, Miami FL, New York NY, Philadelphia PA, San Diego CA and San Francisco CA.

When I am pregnant, I usually eat whatever I feel like eating. Even though I know its not always the right things. The baby's always going to get what they need from you no matter what you are eating and as long as you are taking your vitamins and staying active you should be fine. I usually end up eating a lot of junk food when I am pregnant, and I typically put on 15-20 pounds the entire pregnancy(I am not over weight, my starting weight is usually 120-130lbs.)

Chocolate intake isnt bad. I dont see anyone going around saying that their child has a disorder because they indulged in chocolate during their pregnancy.

During my childbirth education class last month the nurse said she read that if you eat chocolate during your pregnancy you will have a happier baby at 6 months

When i was pregnant the doc told me alot is not too good. But if it's a craving then go for it, there is no problem if you eat it every once in a while.

they tell u to stay away from caffeine when ur pregnant and chocolate contains caffeine amongst all the sugar and other stuff... having it here and there won't hurt but i wouldn't gorge on it... make sure ur eating a healthy diet and then the chocolate here and there will make for a nice reward :]

I believe chocolate is ok in moderation. It DOES contain caffeine, but a minute amount.

Chocolate, in moderation, is perfectly fine. It does contain some caffeine, so don't go overboard with it.

Just a little everyday is fine, otherwise there are health issues that could arise.
