I feel guilty because I have convinced myself that the sugar will in some way negatively affect my 17 1/2 week little boy in my belly. Am I over reacting?
Yes. As long as you otherwise eat healthy, there is nothing wrong with indulging too!! Besides, being pregnant allows you to indulge a little bit without feeling guilty, so take advantage!!
Yes you are over reacting. Who cares if you ate 1/2 a bag of sour patch kids. It's not going to do anything to your unborn baby trust me. I drink soda ALL the time, and that right there has alot more sugar. You're pregnant. Now is the time to eat the things you normally wouldn't. =]
oh man hun if i felt guilty every time i ate some candy id be in a deep dark depression hun your over reacting relax enjoy those sour patch kids!!!!!!!! Congrats and good luck !
