How many calories are you eating in your 3rd trimester? I am 28 weeks today.

I was kind of wondering this since I'm approaching my third. I think I'm going to keep it at 2300, which is set with maintenance to gain 1/2lb per week. I have already gained quite a bit and do not want to gain a ton more. However, I do always listen to my body, and if I'm hungry I eat!0

I'm eating 2000 per day. If I'm having a hungry day I'll take in an extra 200 or 300 or so. I'm 5'9'' and this works out to be MFP maintenance for me.
I'm 33 weeks.

I'm also eating roughly 2000 calories a day, net, I believe the term is. I always eat my exercise calories and if I'm hungry, I'll go over. That's happened more than a few days this week. 2000 is supposedly maintenance for me as well, but I think its actually more of a slight gain.
I'm much shorter, 5'5", but big boned (excuses, excuses). Doctor hasn't said anything about my weight gain, so I'm not too worried. I just always listen to my body to make sure I eat if I'm hungry. At the 20 week ultrasound, our baby measured 2 weeks larger, so 22 weeks along. Pretty sure we're both doing fine!
31/32 weeks along now...0 -

I'm 30wks today and my MFP is set to gain 1/2 week at 2130/cal day. I'm sometimes over/under by 100+ calories. I have Gestational Diabetes but it's controlled thru diet. So I have to make sure I'm eating healthy calories and the right amount of carbs for each meal/snack.0
