I wasn't given a range. Basically the baby sucks everything it needs out of you before you get your cut. As long as you're eating and taking your vitamins, the baby is getting what it needs. From what I've read, babies don't really need a whole lot until the end of your pregnancy, and even then it's only like an additional 300 calories.
