The biggest thing you need to keep in mind is to STAY OUT OF KETOSIS!!!   That means that your body needs carbs now for your baby's growth and well-being.  The ketones  are extremely dangerous to a fetus.  Other than that, take extra vitamins to make sure you stay nourished, for the baby will take what it needs from your body and you're left scraping up the crumbs of nutrition left.
