@rheaa During pregnancy, the body needs more nutrients to provide for the baby to grow properly and be healthy. A pregnant woman is eating for two, but this does not mean that she must ingest excessive calories, or double her caloric intake. During the first trimester, a pregnanct woman does not need to consume any extra calories. The caloric requirement during the second trimester is an additional 340 calories. By the third trimester, pregnant women should be consuming about 450 additional calories.
