i've been craving hot chocolate an i've been drinking it, i was wondering if its okay if i can drink it?

hot chocolate has a lower amount of caffeine. There's no problem indulging in a cup or 2 or hot chocolate. Just be sure to drink anything with caffeine in moderation.

It is generally recommended women consume no more than 200mg of caffeine per day, about the amount found in a cup of caffeinated coffee. Hot chocolate, on the other hand, only contains about 12mg of caffeine.

It would take a lot of hot chocolate to add up to 200mg! Interestingly enough, decaffeinated coffee also contains about 12mg of caffeine per serving. So don't worry; hot chocolate will be fine during pregnancy (so long as you're not drinking a few gallons worth a day!)

If you download the app 'ovia pregnancy', you can check which food you can eat and should avoid. I'm finding it very helpful. Xx

It does have a little bit of caffeine but if you're not guzzling caffeine all day, you're fine! It's one thing I crave and if I don't get it, I may just bite a head off! Lol!

Hi,

Yes it is safe. Before I found out that I was pregnant,  I was craving chocolate pudding.
