Nutrition during Pregnancy
Do I need to eat differently now I am pregnant?
During pregnancy you need extra energy and nutrients. You will need to eat regular meals with a variety of foods.
How much do I need to eat?
Despite the common saying you do not need to eat for two. In fact you only need about 300 additional calories per day.
