Diet for Pregnant Women

Keep in mind that the assumption pregnant women should eat twice the portion usually is wrong! The addition of food servings for pregnant women is 300 calories of when not pregnant. For example, my mother used to eat as many as 1800-2000 calories per day. After a 2100-2300 calorie pregnant. So instead of twice the normal portions. For example, one glass of milk contains 150 calories pregnancy, when taken twice a day is equivalent to 300 calories.
