There is so much emphasis on weight gain when you’re pregnant, it can be quite consuming. My suggestion is to listen to your body and “fuel” yourself and your baby with nutritous foods when you feel hungry. It’s normal to have cravings. Listen to them, just chose wisely! Cravings for sweet foods can be satisfied by eating fruit, a glass of juice (orange juice is a great choice since it’s high in folate, which is good for baby’s development), or a fruit smoothy. Salty cravings can be satisfied with nuts, whole grain crackers with cheese, or a bagel with peanut butter.
