Easter chocolate

[discoballs88]

Hi everyone

I have a check-up appointment on Friday (currently 25 weeks) and am wondering - could eating too much chocolate over the Easter weekend influence the urine test on fri and perhaps lead to a higher risk of gestational diabetes...?

This probably sounds crazy but I'm curious how it works. I've got an Easter egg here that's staring me in the face and am conscious that I've eaten quite a bit of choc over the last few days as well. My willpower is normally pretty good but Easter choc is my fave!

I don't know if it's that simple or not but thought I'd ask on here

Thanks in advance x

I don’t think so, I use to eat loads and never even a trace in my urine 😂

It’s not entirety out of the question that it might do, TBH. I was quite anaemic during both pregnancies and during my first, I tried to address this by eating loads of dried apricots. Next urine test was high in glucose so I got sent for glucose tolerance testing - no problem at all, so midwife suspected it was the dried apricots what done it (when I fessed up).

I’d eat the chocolate, personally, and deal with the fallout!

No, it won't affect your urine test.

My craving have been m&m peanuts and I think at one point I had eaten over a kg of them in a week 😂😂
Obviously not healthy in itself haha but never had an issue with urine tests

Thank you all! X
