Questions before TTC

Hi all.  I almost 7 months out, and I'm not ready to TTC yet, but I have some questions.  I was wondering how eating changes once you are PG?  What I mean is, do you eat more calories?  Do any of you still drink protein drinks?  What about vitamins?  Like I said, I'm not planning on TTC yet, but I just want to be as prepared as possible beforehand.

Everything gets tweaked. I have to eat 1500-1800 calories a day (I struggle every day and I am 3 years out), 90 grams + of protein, 100 grams of carbs. I take prenatal vites, B12, folic acid, and calcium. Dr wants me to try not to drink protein shakes but if I need to thats OK too.
Hope that this helps

Did they send you back to the dietition once you found out you were pregnant Liz?

no but I have the e-mail addy for my nutritionist so I sent her one and asked. The OB's office wanted me at 2000-2200 calories and I just couldn't do it!

Thanks for the info Liz!  That really does sound like a lot of calories, protein and carbs!  And I do really a lot on protein drinks still at this point.  I'm glad you mentioned your nutritionist, I will make it a point to talk to her about my plans at my next appointment.  Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!
