Eating for two, but not two portions!

I am now 15 weeks pregnant and for the first few weeks I was RAVENOUS and felt like eating was the only way to stop me from feeling queezy!

But, of course the guidance is that, depsite all old wives takes, we don’t need to ‘eat for two’ and ramp up the calorie  in-take when we are pregnant, it is quality not quantity that matters. 

So what should we eat and how much of it to make sure that our babies (and we) are getting all the nutrition we need?  Jean Sullivan a locally based dietician has written an excellent article on the moormums website (click here for a link) which explains more.  If you want one-to-one advice then her website link is here.  She is very friendly and approachable with a wealth of experience, I would recommend her wholeheartedly.
