[jamie_michael]

one thing I've craved my entire pregnancy so far is sweets like tootsie roles and a married and orange juice and things like that is it bad that that all I want to eat? how could it affect the baby

Yes gestational diabetes is terrible, & if not handled properly, you could still have it after the pregnancy. It puts you & the baby up for many risks that could lead to problems possibly for life. It also causes the baby to be pretty big which would result in you having a c-section. But it's something your ob monitors every month during your checkup so if they haven't brought it up, you should be fine.

I eat sweat every day sometimes thats all i eat because thats all i have on hand...im going to stop now i dont want gestational diabetes

It would make you high risk but I eat sweets. I don't have it and I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow. As long as sweets is not all you eat, then I'm sure you'll be fine.

I've been eating it everyday because if I don't I feel,like I have no energy and it semi helps a little at work to I was never a sweets fanatic like this even as a kid :( I could  make even toblerones last a few months but this is ridiculous with these cravings

Indulge in your little cravings once in awhile :)
It won't hurt if its not too much.

Ok so is that a bad thing if I get the gestitanional diabetes? Like what does that do?

[babee_mamma]

I crave Frappuccinos lol

Not so much of an effect on the baby directly, but you could develop gestational diabetes(which then affects the baby. But you should have a urine test every time your at an appointment where they check for that, so if they don't mention it your fine. Snack away! ☺
