Eating lots of junk foods (Pregnant)

Hello mummies. Is there any mummies also face this kind of issue? Like before being pregnant, I'm not into these food. Like coke, 100+, sprite, french fries, burger, hashbrown, coffee, oolong tea, chinese tea, etc. But after being pregnant, I have craving for all these almost everyday. i don't know is it because i have a hard time controlling these cravings, my baby is actually smaller than expected. 28 wks but baby is only 26 wks. doctor said it's okay due to genes. Both my spouse and i are quite short. First child is also smaller in size compare to peers. Does anyone face similar issue? Like you know these food are bad for you, but you just can't control your cravings. What are some issues you faced once your baby is born? Is the baby alright when born?

Me! I hate gassy drinks all along so I didn’t used to drink them and only had junk food at most once in 2-3 months prior to falling pregnant 🥲 Through my entire first trimester and early second trimester i craved for junk food and I even didn’t mind gassy soft drinks. I had them every 1-2 weeks because the cravings were so strong. I’m in week 21 now and consciously trying to control my cravings and it’s so tough! My gynae has not pointed out any growth issues with bb so far. However she did tell me to watch my weight gain.. I’ve gained 8kg so far 😔

Might be due to you and your husband’s genes too as you mentioned both if you are on the petite side. I think as long as you can trust your gynae and he/she doesn’t flag out any issues, don’t worry too much! 😊 I’m envious of your “not gaining enough weight”. Haha.
