Calories

[Simoneh00]

Are we supposed to be having extra calories being pregnant and all?

tapatalking!!!

Yes (hope so ). I read somewhere that we need somewhere between 200-400 extra a day towards the end xx

Im eating normally so I reckon anything between 1400-2000 cals a day. Im trying to be aware, that Im getting milk red meat and lots of fruit and veggies! Not to mention the odd takeaway and choc bar xxx

In the first two trimesters we don't need extra caloires as such but we should be eating the recommended 2000 a day for women.

In tri 3 I think we need a few hundred extra calories per day?

Personally I know I am probably eating a bit too much (I blame my Kettle Chip craving that I really must tackle!!) but my weight and BMI are still fine and bub is coming along nicely

My midwife told me it's an extra 200 calories a day so really not that much extra. Not even two KitKats x

Yeah, think it's 200 extra calories a day xx

I haven't been eating any extra yet. Specialists say not to.
At least until the end anyway
