How many calories should a pregnant woman eat?

Nataliieexo

I lost 1 stone before pregnancy, i am 20 weeks along and have only in the past 2 weeks put on 5lb, i have not been eating all that well as i lost my mam in november so i have had alot of chocolate and crisps as snacks. I know its normal to lose weight whilst pregnant but i dont want to gain too much due to my crappy eating regime, can anyone tell me how many calories i should be eating please.

Please contact your physician and or nutritionist for counseling on how much to eat when pregnant. None of us should be qualified to give you medical advice.

Good luck!
