how many calories should be consumed during pregnancy?
 Usually, during the initial 6-months of pregnancy (that is 1 st & 2 nd trimesters), you will not have the need to consume more calories. This is usually about 2000-calories per day. On the other hand, the last 3 months of pregnancy (that is 3 rd trimester), you need additional 200 to 300-calories, which makes it to 2200 to 2300-calories per day.
