Keep craving for sweet things and coke (Pregnancy)

I have hard time controlling myself for sugary foods this pregnancy. Previous pregnancy was okay. Didn't have much craving for sweets or coke. Had craving for bubble tea more. This pregnancy has no craving for bubble tea. But have craving for sweets, coke and ice cream more. I feel like I'm harming the baby inside me. But it's just so difficult to control. I don't drink coke often. Just a few mouthful once per month. It's so difficult to push myself away from coke. What's worse is, I don't like coke before being pregnant. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Be careful mommy. I was into bottled apple juice, ice cream and chocolates during my first trimester. sadly I failed my glucose test and diagnosed with gestational diabetes during my 2nd trimester, now I'm in my 3rd trimester and I am controlling my sugar intake daily. I do still have my sugar cravings, but I substitute it to fruits. only once in a while I have a bite of chocolate. I have to go through sugar blood test on my own and my baby is on bigger side and I'm threatened with c-sect, which I don't want as all my previous pregnancies is all normal. Also having gestational diabetes can mean that I can still have diabetes after delivery or worse, my baby will get it as well. Hope you can control your sugar intake. I regretted my actions.
