I had thought it was not until the third trimester that you are meant to add more calories to your day (though even that is conflicting as nobody seems to say by how much!) but now I have just read it should be throughout pregnancy!!!
While I have not been silly enough to diet (am now 24w) I have kept an eye on my food intake as my sister and best friend ballooned in early pregnancy and (past history of eating problems) I wanted to be v careful that I didn't leave myself with stones and stones to lose after the birth as I know this would be psychologically awful for me (and therefore baby).
But I desperately want to make sure I add the extra food when I need it!! I want my baby to grow nicely!!
Does anyone know the current advice - roughly how many extra calories do you need to add and more importantly when???!
Thank you!!
