Newly pregnant, eating all the time?

[Lil Lady]

Im newly pregnant and all I do is eat. I know Im going to end up gaining weight anyways, but I don't want to gain more than needed. I usually eat Honey Bunches of Oats cereal in the morning, then for snaking Ill eat a yogurt and a little while later Ill eat a honey bun or two, I drink bottled water and nothing else. But how do I cut back on when and how much Im eating? I already weigh a little more than Id like (140lb) And what is the healthiest things to snack on while pregnant. Also, today for a snack I had a medium sized salad with cheese garlic croutons and ranch dressing. Is that bad or okay? Help please.

sounds like your eating healthy i was worried about the same things but pregnancy is no time cut back you don't want to end up passing out i snack on pretzils threwout the day it helps hold you over between meals especially if your at school and have no time to eat a lot make sure you getting the right amount of nutrients try eating fruit its really good for the baby and also helps with sugar cravings
