    Congratulations! That is so exciting! :happy:

    Generally, you should add 200-300 calories to the calories you would need to maintain. Some women look at pregnancy as a license to eat donuts! LOL With the statement "I am eating for two"....I don't know about you, but I don't know many growing fetuses that need donuts! hehe....anyway, an extra yogurt and a couple of pieces of fruit should do the trick for extra "Baby" calories.

    Yeah, unfortunately the amount you are required to "overeat" while pregnant is only like a PB&J and glass of milk. Bummer! :laugh:

    Well, I'm not trying to get you to move websites but there is a great website specifically designed for pregnant women looking to stay healthy. It is called www.babyfit.com - I really liked it while I was pregnant. It may not have some of the perks this website has but it is geared towards pregnant women and the ladies on there (most of them) ARE pregnant. You can still be on this site as well. O' and it's also free to join. Congrats and Good Luck!
