Eat chocolate!: Pregnancy is hard enough as it is but for you to resist eating chocolate would be torture! Unless you're a diabetic (and at your gestational age, you should get tested), there is not enough caffeine in chocolate to cause negative pregnancy outcomes! We even have some evidence to say that a cup of coffee per day would be okay as well.
