to add to my post above.. ajinomoto is actually 'monosodium glutamate', also called MSG..

Now that you mention it.. I ve been having very strong for Chinese food ever since the day I got pregnant.. but I have been scared to have it. Is it safe to eat chinese food from a restaurant?
I heard very strong opinions from my local friends that it contains a flavor enhancing ingredient (called ajino-moto), which is harmful for the baby..

Also, I normally have two cups of regular tea ( not black tea) everyday.. is that safe as well? Before I got pregnant I used to have like 5-6 cups of tea in office.. now I have restricted to two.. hope the caffeine in it is not too bad...!

I wouldn't worry about it.
I had a cup of coffee this morning. Call the pregnancy police!
Enjoy the cake :)

Yea you will be fine! Chocolate doesnt have that much caffeine in it.  and your aloud so much of caffeine a day. I know its 300 something, cant remember the measurment lol..  I ate chocolate like crazy when i was pregnant. I always had a twix bar on me, and I ate Oreos like they were going out of style, good thing about the oreos is I ate them smothered in peanut butter so they were semi healthy for me lol...   I also had the hugest craving for cherry coke when I was close to the end of my pregnancy and I had one everyday, just a small can or a glass.  but for the first 5 months of my pregnancy I didnt have anything. but I was so over protective and worried, but i grew out of it.  cause I kept getting cravings and they couldnt be ignored lol.. I also had a cup of coffee here and there and sometimes a carmel Frappe from Mcdonalds.. i treated myself once and awhile but i was still safe.. thats all you gotta do, treat your cravings but do it in modereation. everything will be fine.. Chocolate has the least Caffeine then most things

I agree that you should try to limit caffeine...  I don't think mocha cake would have very much...  It seems like you are already taking good care of your diet, if a piece of mocha cake every once in awhile makes you calm & happy, then baby will be happy too!

Have you ever been overnight at the hospital while pregnant?  They offered me coffee every morning.  I was like what???  uh, yeah I want it, but no thanks.  This time I am drinking a small cup every now & then.  If it makes me feel a lot less stress & irratibility then I figure there is less stress for baby too.  I try to keep it down to 1-2 cups a week, instead of everyday.

I know lots of women who drank a small cup of coffe every morning. They were all very healthy babies (none of them small) and they sleep through the night.

I can't see why not. You are just supposed to limit your caffeine during pregnancy..don't eat the whole cake in one day I guess! LOL
