Have the recommendations changed over the past three years? I remember the books saying that one should gain about 25 pounds during your pregnancy when I was pregnant with DS. Now, I'm reading that one only needs to consume more calories during the last trimester, and then only 300 extra calories per day. I think this is bull because, at that rate, I'd only gain 7 pounds (127300/3600). That only makes up the weight of the baby, not even the extra plasma/fluid. Also, this doesn't account for the increased metabolic rate during pregnancy. Who the hell is making this cr*p up?
