Been having the odd two squares a day here and there but now I’m worried! Has anyone else been eating it?

Hmmm... A quick Google says it's fine. If you're concerned about taking on too many calories or caffeine you might limit your intake but nothing comes up about heavy metals. I'm sure 2 squares here or there will be fine, some people eat/drink far more dangerous things the whole way through pregnancy.

If it was a worry the NHS would have a warning about it. There was a scare in the US a while back but our regulations are different and you'd probably have to eat a lot of it for it to even be an issue - and then you'd probably have other problems 🤣.
