Eating more for baby?

Question

Hey all. When do you need to increase what your eating for baby or do you just continue to eat the same amount during pregnancy?
does your appetite ever increase. FTM just starting 2nd trimester. Thanks

Answer

Nahh your appetite pretty much stays the same. You just might have some days where you’re really hungry.

Answer

My doc said 200-300 extra a day starting in the second trimester. I haven't had an appetite so she recommended multiple healthy snacks a fast if I can't stomach a large meal.

Answer

One of the baby information videos I saw from the hospital said to only up your intake by a bananas worth in your third trimester. 
I've heard the same from a lady I worked with when she was pregnant since I asked her and her doctors advised the same but instead of a banana it was a glass of milk. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I’m 15 weeks today, and have been having some major food aversions since entering the second trimester. They said it was completely normal-I even lost 5 pounds since December! 😮 They said that was normal too. 💁🏻‍♀️Just snack throughout the day, and try to make healthier choices, but otherwise just keep taking your vitamins and I think you should be fine. (That’s my perspective at least lol!)

Answer

I figured if I am already a little overweight its best to eat the same amount as before pregnancy? just the right foods or should you eat more regardless? will ask midwife

Answer

I think it largely depends on your beginning weight. If you’re underweight, you may need to increase. If overweight, decrease calories or stay the same.

Answer

Doctor told me to eat an extra 360 calories a day

Answer

My Dr said you only need 150 more calories a day
