Pregnancy and sugar: There is lots of sugar in ice cream in addition to fat. The way your body uses sugar while pregnant can be different and with very high sugar meals, your body is not able to metabolize the sugar as well. When this happens, your blood sugar can rise too much and you can develop diabetes during your pregnancy. Work closely with your OB doc to discuss your diet as this can affect your baby's health.
