Dietary Issues with Pregnancy

Hello All:

I am new to this message board but wanted to ask a question.

How many calories per day did you eat while you were pregnant?

Any information you can provide would be most helpful.

Thanks,
C

Building a baby uses about an extra 300 calories a day, so you can up your usual intake by that much.

Thanks for information!

I don't count calories, especially while pregnant. I eat what I know is healthy and eat when I'm hungry until I'm satisfied. Some days, I probably only eat like 1000 calories, and some more like 2500 - all depends on how I feel that day. I'm 29 weeks along and have gained less than 15 pounds so far, and baby is measuring right on target.

i eat about every 2 hours, i found that if i dont i get dizzy and light headed. iv only gained 5 pounds and am 34 weeks 3 days and the baby is measureing right on target also.
