    2nd the doctor.....pregnant women arent generally encouraged to diet during pregnancy and are advised more to look at eating well instead.

    Contact your OB, or a simple Google search....

    The general recommendation is that you do not raise your calorie intake until the second trimester. At that point, you can consume an extra 200 calories/day. Of course the recommendations are different if you started the pregnancy obese.

    Most OBs aren't terribly specific about this sort of stuff. If you are especially concerned, see a nutritionist.
