How many calories are you eating whilst pregnant?

Thanks

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant (with my third) and to be honest I have no idea how much I am eating since I don't track my intake. My guess is around 3000 plus or so (based on my maintenance and all that). I have gained around 25lbs so far which I am very happy about, my goal is to stay around 35lbs, give or take.

ETA: Oh and for reference forgot to include I started off normal weight and very lean before this pregnancy.

The first 4-5 months I was lucky if I ate 1000 per day. I had no appetite so I'd usually eat a small breakfast and feel full all day but still force down one of those 300 cal meal replacement shakes.

After that I was back to the typical 1500-1700 per day. I didnt really have food cravings or anything.

I gained 9lbs overall and was under prepregnancy weight leaving the hospital.

MFP allocates me 2220 for 'maintaining' but I don't hit that most days. I'll break 2000 at most but the majority are around 1800-1900. I'm 20 weeks and have gained only about 1 kg but I was overweight pre-pregnancy. I'm still suffering with morning sickness and vomiting which doesn't help.
