So I am wondering what my calorie intake should be? I am currently 5.5 week along and don't go see my doctor until the end of January. I just need some suggestions

    Usually it's maintenance or maybe a little over.

    My midwife suggested eating your normal calorie count for the first 12-14 weeks. And after that, add another 200-300 calories per day.

    I plan on maintaining through 1st trimester, adding about 250 during 2nd, and around 500 during the 3rd.

    I'm currently 9 weeks along.. I talked to my dr, and she said between 1500 - 1700 per day is fine for me...
