Everything in moderation. With both my babies I couldn't get enough M&M's. They are both fine. Cut yourself some slack!
My second pregnancy I literally got a big old iced caramel macchiato from Starbucks everyday. Had no control either. It was so good!! Everything is and will be just fine. Love your baby AND enjoy some sugar!
Just a thought… the sneaking and guilt you’re feeling may be fueling your cravings in an unhelpful way. What would happen if you released the feeling of guilt and allowed yourself to enjoy sugar, working mindfully on how you feel, alongside all the other food your body is needing right now as you grow another human? Be gentle on yourself.

Is your husband putting too much pressure on you to cut out sugar, or is this pressure you’re putting on yourself? I would just keep some soda and candy in the house and eat/drink a little bit. Maybe you buy a reasonable amount for the week (and that’s it for that week!), and set an amount for each day, or just go to it as you have cravings. Doesn’t seem like something you need to sneak around or feel guilty about.

Sugar in moderation is fine. ‘Speaking to buy food’ is problematic. Also don’t start the narrative that ‘you love your baby, but…’. It’s ‘I love my baby, AND…’

Crazy amounts of sugar aren’t good for you or baby. An appropriate treat is fine. But sneaking to buy food when your husband isn’t around, binge eating it and then feeling guilty isn’t a great mental space to be in.
Moderation and discipline. Too much sugar is just too bad for you and baby. Many consequences can be lifelong.
My thinking goes in the direction of newborn abstinence syndrome, and in severe cases, the effects can last for many years, and not always a lifetime. Your baby will not likely suffer lifetime effects of an increased sugar intake. Binge eating or eating in secrecy are not healthy habits or lifestyle choices, pregnant or not pregnant. I think you can see that those choices are signs telling you to rethink your choices, especially since you came here to post about it. It’s hard not to stress about every little thing being a FTM. Just do your best and increase your awareness of baby, you’ll be great!

Agree with finding a small outlet for a small amount of daily sugar to curb the craving. And also to substitute the rest: instead of soda have sparkling water. Instead of candy have your absolute favorite healthy food, like avocado and mozzarella or something. Or substitute in one glass of ice cold OJ so that at least you’re getting vitamins.
The risk is gestational diabetes, which translates into risk of premature birth, stress on baby’s lungs, baby obesity and baby type 2 diabetes
I'm 22 weeks pregnant with my second and loooove sugar. I did entirely cut our soda and am super proud of that, but I generally have something sweet with every meal. With breakfast I try to keep it to fruit. At lunch something small, little cookies or pieces of candy. After dinner/before bed snack, I'll often have an ice cream treat or a bowl of sugary cereal but sometimes something carby like a pumpkin muffin recently. It's easier to keep treat portion sizes when you up your meal portion sizes. It's totally normal to be hungrier and eat more!
But honestly, this is not a departure from how I usually eat. I'm healthy (although occasionally underweight especially when I was breastfeeding), my first pregnancy was healthy, and my first baby now toddler is healthy too. I'm not at risk for gestational diabetes. If I were, I would absolutely have the willpower to adjust my eating. If you have concerns about your personal risks or this is a big change in how you usually eat, talk to your doctor. Otherwise, stop hiding it!
