A member asked:

Our fast foods bad when pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Well, it's: Hard to say because there are many varieties. To the degree it adds to obesity or gestational diabetes it's a problem but there is no direct correlation to poor pregnancy outcomes, watch sugar in liquids, even juice, that's a huge source of unnecessary calories.
