Very interesting! So, I'll have a very good excuse when/if I ever get pregnant. :rofl:

Then I'll never, ever, ever get it :rofl:

I don't like chocolate very much unless I'm pregnant!!!

Yesterday I sneaked a few chocs with my morning coffee :blush:

Oh my gosh wow....I developed it with my first at 34 weeks, and honestly I don't remember eating much chocolate come to think of it, never thought to eat it! I ate a lot of Wendy's burgers and friends, and chips :shy: :dohh:

When we get pg again I will be sure to keep this in mind and take this seriously :happydance: esp. if it will lower my chances b/c I know I'm at risk again!

well pass me the choc chip muffins then!!LOL

Off to the fridge now to have a chunk of Dairy Milk:happydance::happydance::happydance:

hhaha i know, i wont feel guilty anymore :)

I will eaat some for all of you (just in case!)

The actual science paper says it was when the women ate 5+ servings per week so make sure you get enough! lol

Though the author does point out there is a danger of reverse causality, i.e. women who are predisposed to pre-eclampsia might for some reason not want to eat chocolate rather than that the chocolate itself helps reduce the risk.
