I also crave sweets.  I got eclaires  and donuts and cookies for desserts this week.  I have 3 kids and a hubby that appreciate mommy's cravings. But if I have a sweet everyday for a few days I will go a week or 2 without because i get sick of it. Its usually sweets that i get my extra 300 cal. From. Im 36 weeks so I cam barely eat a half cup of food at one sitting.  Dinner last night was as much as my 18 months old ate. Corn, steak and mashed taters. Ive always had a sweet tooth. But i know how to balance.  Ive gained 20 lbs so far this pregnancy.

I had a massive sweet tooth. All I wanted to eat were sweets and drink fruit juices.

This is my 4th pregnancy and with the previous 3 I had a diet coke and sweets everyday. With this little one I did now have soda or sweets and despite this I found out at 28 weeks I had gestational diabetes even though I was eat healthy foods. Gestational diabetes is something that can happen no matter how you eat. Just be mindful of how you are feeling so you dont over indulge with the yummy goodies

Oh I love sweets. I did before too. I love sprite but sometimes I try to get the carbonated flavored water instead but sprite is just so great. I also love chocolate..but my husband can always tell if I eat to much because itll give me pimples. I don't ever crave or want veggies so I have to force myself to eat good burning get full really fast now. I used to be able to eat alot more at once but cannot anymore haha

Me too! I haven't gotten diabetes. I would still drink water though idk if that helped me. But I'm 36 weeks and still good.

Yep, drank it once in a while before being pregnant, now want it way more. Cake is my main weakness though. Could eat an entire cake every day if I let myself!

I never drink soda or care for sweets but I have really craved 7 up and ice cream and chocolate and fruit a lot. I have a 7up almost every day, and usually a sweet like a brownie or ice cream after dinner. And fruit every morning. My blood sugar is just fine, same as its always been. 60-90 fasting and 120 to 130 after a big meal. (On a diabetic glucose monitor.) Came back at 100 after the glucose test.

I would watch the sugar intake it's not good for you or your little one it can cause you to have gestational diabetes
