So my new husband and I have been married for about a month and eventually the time will come to have a family so what are some some advice on what I can eat and drink when the time comes?

I would simple tell you to try to achieve a sensible diet before you fall pregnant, concentrating of the right things to eat rather than sticking to a set amount of calories. We all know you can use our calories by eat a set amount of pizza or a virtually unlimited amount of veg, the latter be better of course. Then when you do fall pregnant eat what you want, remembering to focus on the healthy habits you have already learnt. Remember that we don't need to eat for two anymore but there are some days that your body will simple demand certain things, so as a way to appreciate the wonderful job your body is doing, give in and have whatever it is you want, just not unlimited.0

Honestly, if you are worried about weight gain during pregnancy, follow the diet restrictions that they put on pregnant ladies with gestation diabetes (had it with my daughter, it's not as hard as you'd imagine) and ONLY eat the necessary calories. My doctor told me that my first trimester, to stay around a healthy level of calories for someone not particularly trying to lose weight, so about 1700-1800ish. Second semester, add around 200 calories in, so 1900-2000ish. In the third, top it out around 2200-2400. The process of carrying and growing a baby only adds about 300 calories a day, if you're eating more than that on top of a maintenance level for yourself, you will gain weight. If you don't, weight gain will be minimal. From the time I got pregnant to the day they weighed me in the hospital before I gave birth, I only 'gained' 11 lbs. But realistically, my daughter was 7 lbs and there is a lot of fluid going on, after my first week postpartum I weighed 10 lbs less than my pre-preggo weight0

honestly if you can keep the food down, just be conscious of what you eat and try to stay active. If you eat junk and sit on your rump, you are bound to gain.0
