Pregnancy Myths

Everything from books to magazines to relatives and neighbors have a plethora of advice about pregnancy do's and don'ts, but what's the truth?

Myth #2

Pregnant women shouldn't eat sweets.

REALITY: There's a big exception to this rule: chocolate. New studies show that pregnant womenwho eat chocolate every day during pregnancy have babies who show less fear and smile and laugh more often at six months of age. Another study finds that women who eat five or more servings of chocolate each week during their third trimester have a 40 percent lower risk of developing the dangerous high blood pressure condition known as preeclampsia.
