Im 33 weeks pregnant wd my 1st baby. will having sweets, like a bar a day will make a big baby?

Unlikely: If you don't have diabetes, having a candy bar would not cause you to have a big baby. Whether this is a healthy snack or not is another question.

Not necessarily: Only if you are a diabetic will a small amount of sweets increase the risk of a large baby. Be sure you are eating a healthy diet in addition to taking your vitamins and an occasional sweet treat won't hurt. Best wishes to you and the baby
