How many calories per day in the third trimester?

Question

Have you been advised by your doctor on how many calories you should be eating per day in the third trimester? I'm finding anywhere between 1,600 and 2,400 calories as answers when I research so its been a bit confusing. I will be asking for advice at my next prenatal appointment, of course, but until then I was hoping you all might help me out. TIA!

Answer

I don't worry about the amount of calories I consume and my doctor has never made it a point to bring it up during our appointments. For me, calorie counting is triggering and I'm not about that life.

Answer

I was told up to 300 more then your normal.
