Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Dark chocolate is safe with precautions during pregnancy when eaten in measured portions. It supplies dietary iron, magnesium, copper, and antioxidant flavonoids to support cardiovascular wellness. However, dark chocolate contains natural caffeine, which ACOG advises limiting to under 200 milligrams daily across all foods and beverages. Enjoy a single square of high-cocoa chocolate after dinner.
