I see a lot of women on here eating a lot of sweets. So I just wanted to share what my midwife said to me. You want to keep under 50g of sugar a day because otherwise you chance that your baby can come out hypoglycemic and feeling a need for the sugar it was used to getting in the womb. I was eating half a bag of cuties a day and she said even though its fruit, its still a lot of sugar, and I should eat a maximum of two a day. Just wanted to let ya know. Now I keep track of my intake of food with the MyFitnessPal App. I didn't realize how bad I had been eating till I started using that app. She also said that I was suppose to eat a minimum of 1800 calories a day, optimal is 2300.
