Nutrition and Pregnancy

I would think that the same rules apply. Colorful diet. Fruits,veggies,lean protien,complex carbs,low fat dairy, all in line with the amounts/times that are right for the pregnant women. Unless advised by a Dr. on specific changes that need to be made, a pregnant woman should be able to go by the guidelines for healthy eating that the rest of try to follow right?

Exercise should also continue through your pregnancy, with the OK of a Dr. I fell into the trap of eating whatever I wanted to excess, for both my pregnancies, and it took me years to undo the damage!
