A member asked:

When pregnant, is it ok to drink chocolate milk instead of milk? this is because i personally don't like milk too much.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Watch your calories: Chocolate milk is safe and delicious in pregnancy, but is higher in fat and sugar than plain milk. Just be sure to not go crazy with it. The average extra caloric intake needed is 150 cal per day, which is not a lot. If you gain too much weight too fast, you put yourself at risk of various pregnancy complications including gestational diabetes.
