Unfortunately, when you are pregnant you can't eat whatever you want :(
Technically we're not supposed to really be "eating for two"
The daily caloric intake in the 1st trimester is not changed, and in the 2nd and 3rd trimester you only need to consume and extra 300 calories! THAT IS IT! 300?! That is like eating two slices of toast with a tablespoon of peabut butter! Many of us preggers think we need much much more. Of course, if you are under or overweight, the rules are different.

I wish someone explained this to me when I was pregnant with my son. I was 110 before getting pregnant and got up to 165. With this pregnancy I started at 157 or something and now I'm at 154 at 13 weeks. I'm not about to eat whatever I want because "I can".

@kimberlyyyy, I totally understand! I was 19 when I got pregnant with my first and clueless! I didnt even know what a normal portion was! I was also 110, went to 198 at delivery! This was 12 years ago. I am so much more aware now! @phasion by all means, give in to your cravings! My 2 intense cravings are tunafish which is only allowed once a week :( and Dell's lemonade (its a rhode Island thing). I get a Dells every day after work :)

I was a single mom with no one to impress, but also no one to tell me to stop eating fast food every single day (it was awful I don't know how I did that, those damn spicy chicken sandwiches!!!). I'm forever stuck with stretch marks & loose skin, but I'll be damned if I do that to my body again. I'm not about to gain 55 pounds with this one. Ah hell naw! lol. I'm just pissed I'm starting this pregnancy at my 8 month pregnant weight with my son. I wanted to tone up before getting pregnant, sooo much for that! Haha.

I breastfed my son and the weight that I gained came melting off! I got down to 130lbs after 6 months and stayed there for the past 10 years...

I totally learned this when I was pregnant but I didn't understand why I constantly found my stomach growling when only eating my normal amount...

I think it's we're hungrier. "Need calories" are one thing...but pregnant women have an instinct to nest and part of nesting is eating more food to prepare for a time we will have to "split" the food with our young. I might just be taking it from a psychologist perspective, but it's nature that makes us "eat for two". It's doctors who say it's unnecessary.

I don't find myself eating more portions, I find that I eat more frequently in smaller portions. ..My first I woke up in the middle of the night STARVING! I don't know if its because im older, but my appetite is definitely not where it was when pregnant with the 1st...
