eating plan?

does anyone know where I can find an eating plan that tells me what i should be eating at this stage and how much i should be eating...?

Have a look here re NZFSA - Food Safety in Pregnancy. You should have gotten a copy of the leaflet when you confirmed your pregnancy with your GP :)

I think I remember reading that you only need something like 200 extra calories a day to support a growing fetus, so definitely no eating for two, thats a myth! Make sure you eat lots of fruit & vege, and red meats/fish especially. If you have ever had low iron levels, you might want to consider taking an iron supplement too, because your body can't produce enough to support both of you, so a lot of people become anaemic during pregnancy.

I had to be on a strict diet in my first pregnancy as I had high blood pressure intially, I lost weight overall, even at eight months pregnant. This was from eating well (probably the first time in my life!!). I ate seven servings of vegetables and fruit, drank 3 litres of water, and did everytihng by the book. Most miserable time in my life!!! But i was healthy as! When i was pregnant with Taine, I was a lot more relaxed in terms of what I ate, but still tried to eat lots of veges and fruit and stayed away from too much greasy food. I didn't lose wieght, but then again, was a lot happier!

yeah I dunno, I feel like I am ballooning, I am soooooo hungry all the time now, but i am also hungry for carb type things, salt and vinigar ships etc...i am worried cos i am only 8 weeks and seriosuly imust have put on at least 2 - 3 kg already! I know i shoudl be eating fruit but I dont even want to look at it, even apples! I have totally gone off fruit and veges, wierd huh!

Salt & Vinegar chips work well for me too...I'm lucky I haven't put on to much weight which is good...I'm also going with what my body demands - within reason...it's working so far! I figure better that than make myself sick with something I really don't want!
