hi everyone, I just found out I'm pregnant and i will admit i don't have the best eating habits i just just eat at night when my partner gets home from work and i'm very willing to change this if it means i'll have a healthy baby ..but what foods should i eat and how many calories am i meant to be having, a nutritionist today told me that this eating plan gives me everything i need(nutrients and calories)
Breakfast- bowl of sultana bran and low fat milk
snack-peanuts or fruit like an orange
lunch-water crackers with avocado, slice of block cheese and 1 hard boiled egg
snack again she suggested a carrot
dinner- salad(lettuce,capsicum,cucumber,spinach leaves) with a baked chicken breast or a small amount of tuna.
snack-banana another glass of low fat milk if i feel like it
i dont know if this is enough ....
but i am already 95kg and low self esteem so if anyone has advice on what i can eat to maintain my weight or even lose some that would be great! also am i aloud to exericse eg. exercise bike, pilates, walking and maybe swimming if i get a gym membership?
I understand gaining a little weight while pregnant is normal but i don't really want to get 100+ i've only recently came under that please any advice is good at the moment
thanks

You need to be eating throughout the day and you need to have at least 2300 calories a day. You need to make sure you are getting 75g of protein a day as well.
You will gain weight, I am not going to lie, you are going to see that scale go up. If you are already 95 you are going to go over 100, that is just the way it is. I weighed 150 before I became pregnant, I lost a lot of weight in the beginning from being sick, but then I gained it all back and now at 34 weeks pregnant I weigh 185 lbs. You will be carrying a baby around with amniotic fluid and a placenta.... not to mention you will probably also gain weight in other areas of your body.
BUT if you breastfeed and work hard you can get the weight off very fast - a girl I know just had her baby 2 weeks ago and she has already lost 24 lbs since the labor.

Exercise during pregnancy is very healthy but only in 15 minute increments. Make sure you are getting a lot of water, and that your pulse does not go over 120bpm. Also, make sure all of your exercise is low impact (swimming is great) - but do not use exercise to diet or diet during pregnancy. Use exercise to strengthen your body.

I'm just over 3 months myself and I've actually lost 6 pounds I pretty much eat what I want when I want to I do usually try to make myself eat breakfast though even if it's just oat meal and juice you'll want to get on prenatal vitamins as soon as possible you can get them over the counter at any drug store until you can get some from your doctor they'll help to provide a lot of the vitamins and such that the baby will need you might also want to do a search online for things you can't eat while pregnant there are a few things you have to stay away from
