From the article:

The good news is that there is no evidence that moderate amounts of caffeine, which certainly is in chocolate, are a problem for your pregnancy.

In fact, there have been reports over the years of chocolate being good for you and your baby:

* Scientists at the University of Helsinki found, through a study with 300 pregnant women, that daily chocolate consumption had a positive impact on the baby’s behaviour: more smiling and laughing and less fear in new situations.

So Easter doesn’t have to be glum after all. However, as always, there is a catch – your consumption has to be “in moderation”.

You should know that eating a litter of chocolate bilby’s isn’t good for you. Advice is to have a “small” amount of chocolate with some confusing contradictions on how much that exactly is. Ask your doctor for advice to ease your conscience.
