Maybe some calcium chews..they come in sweet flavors and the baby needs calcium.





It doesn't hurt to indulge your cravings once in awhile, you deserve it.
Reply:i dont know i went the whole nine months with a sweet tooth
Reply:Lol. I'm of no help to you. When I need a fix, I head straight for some brownies. I don't over do it, but I have to have ONE brownie. Lol Sorry, but fruit just doesn't cut it for me.
Reply:LOL i feel for you, because it seems like the only healthy things i ever crave is fruit....... and a salad occasionally. i normally have that sweet tooth or the want for something super super salty........ Why don't you eat the cookie dough but, a small amount just to get the craving over. They say its ok to fullfill your cravings just w/in reason and don't go overboard....... Hope that helped!!!!!! i know how it feels its frustrating i know!
Reply:The only reason you crave sweets is because you are not eating enough protein. I heard this in my birthing class and put it to the test and its true. A pregnant women is suppose to have 80-120 grams of protein a day. If you get that, you won't crave sweets. Try it for a week. Eat 100 grams of protein a day for a week. You won't want the cookie dough.
Reply:Damn! Now I want some cookie dough!! lol

Reply:Chocolate-fudgy brownie with peanut butter frosting ummmmm...yummmy..... That's what I craved when i was preggo.The sad thing is I crave sweets even worse now-i'm breastfeeding.My baby girl is 1 month old.Congrats on your pregnancy.
Reply:You can make cookie dough with pasteurized eggs (available at any grocery store), or use a non-egg recipes if you are worried about that. You could also try a sugar sandwhich with chocolate chips. A plain sugar sandwich is bread with a layer of better and then a layer of sugar - ok still not healthy *lol*. Dark chocolate is healthy I guess you could just try a few squares of that.





Also you might try increasing your fat and protein intake in your regular diet as these can contribute to sweet cravings.





Mmmm cookie dough! Now I want some -sheesh.
Reply:Pudding


vanilla wafers


Kettle popcorn
Reply:I also have a horrible sweet tooth. I packed my fridge with fruit, pudding w/ added calcium and light yogurt; they do help!! Plus they are healthy!





However, i do the occasional spoonful of peanut butter or dunkin donuts cinnamon roll. (trust me, stay away from those cinnamon rolls)
Reply:Don't deny yourself. Treat yourself to a little bit of cookie dough. Lol Just not the whole thing ok. I just recently started having a sweet craving. I tend to give in as long as I don't have too much. I don't know if you're a chocolate lover, but try getting the fun size candy bars( snickers, milky way).





BTW...whoever came up with the term fun size should be beaten!! Lol Nothing fun about teasing a pregnant woman.
