i'm exactly the same! i have a huge sweet tooth as it is, but it's just getting worse. even they "healthy" food i eat is full of sugar, like fruit. i'm starting to worry though b/c i went for my 20 week scan last week and they said my baby is large and are sending me for a glucose test tomorrow to rule out GD. i'm hoping i didnt bring this on myself with all the sugars i've been eating
I asked my doctor about it and he said that what you eat during pregnancy has nothing to do with getting gestational diabetes. gestational diabetes is caused by the placenta. You can have other risk factors and having a big baby could be a sign of it, but eating sugar while pregnant does not CAUSE it.
Of course eating lots of sugar is really not healthy and if we fill up on it instead of healthy food it's not good. I know, easier said than done.
Last pregnancy I REALLY craved sugar and I didn't have GD.
