Need some advice women?

I was really craving Hot Chocolate this morning so i went off and bought some, but it worries me cause iam 9 weeks pregnant. I heard from someone that hot chocolate had caffeine and was bad for expectant mothers....Should i be worried? Thanx for the help everyone and wish everyone many healthy pregnacys!Need some advice women?
A little hot chocolate is not going to harm your baby. Everything in moderation. Hey, we all get our cravings!





I had hot chocolate with my first child and he is healthy as a horse :)Need some advice women?
Caffeine is fine, as long as you don't eat/drink too much. I think you can have like two sodas a day. Although I suggest taking soda out of your diet, or at least drink caffeine free, so you can eat more chocolate.
All chocolate naturally has caffeine but it's not loaded like coffee or some sodas are. I'd say don't worry about it. I loved chocolate during my pregnancies and didn't limit my intake, but I didn't eats loads of it either.


You'll find that you'll get headaches during your pregnancy and caffeine can help alleviate them. Personally I'd rather eat chocolate to ease my headache than stress out my liver and my babies liver by taking tylenol.
No worries. I love hot chocolate! I have been drinking it throughout my whole pregnancy. You are allowed to have caffeine, just in limited amounts. Even if you wanted to have a cup everyday, you can . But you also need to get plenty of water and milk in there everyday. Congrats and Good luck!
My doctor said it's safe to have your daily cup if you can't cut back. It's all about resisting the urge to overindulge yourself. I just went through a weeklong craving for Coca Cola, a drink I absolutely detested before, and my doctor reassured me that I was by no means harming my child.
Moderation is key here. Just limit your caffeine intake and you'll be fine.
a little caffine isn't going to hurt anything. i love diet coke and drank a couple a week. i have also read that if you are a coffee drinker prepreg, then try only 1 cup a day instead of a couple.





1 hot chocolate isn't like a mountain dew for every meal all 9 months!





hope you enjoyed it!
I have drank caffeine throughout all my pregnancies.(am currently pregnant with number 4)





I also seen on the news just last night that it is safe for moderate coffee drinking during pregnancy. I wasn't aware of caffeine being in hot chocolate though.
As long as your not drinking a ton of coke, hot chocolate,etc. a day, that's the key. You can have it just not in abundance.
Mmmm hot cocoa! It was my biggest craving during both my pregnancies. Be moderate and enjoy it.
It's not going to hear the baby. I have a cup or two of half calf coffee in the morning - well not every morning. I did the same with my first and he is fine. It's not big deal if you have a cup a day. So relax and enjoy.
You're fine. A cup of hot tea as half the caffeine as a cup of coffee and that's fine. Hot chocolate shouldn't have as much caffeine even as a cup of tea...I wouldn't worry. Enjoy your hot chocolate!! :) I do
You are expected to digest some caffeine - but too much is bad for the child - one cup of hot chocolate will be fine - but use decaffeinated coffees and teas when possible!@~
Sometimes I drink coffee in the morning, sometimes I drink coke or tea. I do this all throughout the pregnancy and Im pregnant with my 4th baby. You have nothing to worry about. They say 300mg a day or less is ok. This site will tell you about caffeine during pregnancy.

Well, I already knew that it was safe to consume caffeine during pregnancy, but I have some more details that should make you feel better about your hot cocoa habit.





300 mg of caffeine (about 3 cups of coffee) is safe for expectant mothers, and an 8-oz hot chocolate only has about 7 mg of caffeine.
