Talking about the weird “cravings” during pregnancy, I know it’s hard to say no to sweets especially cakes. It’s okay to eat less but avoid binge eating. The following are some of the reasons why eating cakes while pregnant is discouraged: 1) Cakes may contain alcohol – though not all but some cakes are added with alcoholic ingredients for flavor purposes. Binge eating cakes may poses negative impacts on your baby. 2) Cakes may lead to unhealthy weight gain – your needed weight gain during pregnancy must come from healthy and nutritious foods. 3) Cakes may contain unhealthy supplements. 4) Speaking of sanitation, cakes may contain harmful bacteria – it’s suggested to eat homemade cake instead of store-bought desserts.
