 Chocolate 
Is it really bad to have some everyday?
  The last couple of weeks I have just been craving chocolate like crazy. I had the same cravings with my son.
  What's really bad about chocolate? I know the sugar isn't really good, but what else? Thanks!

 Re: Chocolate 
As terrible as this sounds, I had a good amount of chocolate during my pregnancy and had no problems.

 Re: Chocolate 
Chocolate has caffeine in it...Thats why its considered bad...Its fine as long as your not having  HUGE amounts every single day

 Re: Chocolate 
Uh, if it's bad, I'm going to have problems   I don't really think that some chocolate is going to hurt the baby. It's calcium!

  I like your way of thinking!!
  You have to rationalize the bad stuff and make it seem good!!!!

 Re: Chocolate 
I've eaten plenty of chocolate.  I don't think it has THAT much caffeine that it would be a problem.  The only problem for me is that it has helped contribute to my growing a$$!

 Re: Chocolate 
I was told Milk Chocolate has only a little caffinene as opposed to dark and semi sweet chocolate has a lot.

 Re: Chocolate 
I ate TONS of it when I was pg.  I just couldn't help myself- hot chocolate every day in the morning with a chocolate crossant, salt bagle with chocolate chip cream cheese for lunch, chocolate ice cream and lots of chocolate candy in between.  My    is 3 weeks old now and is very happy and healthy.  I have heard that eating chocolate helps to make your baby happy and calm.  Worked for me!
