Dietary needs

I am trying to figure out what I should be eating...I have a crazy-hectic schedule, and do my best, but I just want to know - is there anything you absolutely need to get into your diet?

your ob/mw is probably the best person to talk to but mine told me: protein, vegetables, fruits, carbs and lots and lots of water

you could also try google (clicky)

Protein and calcium are extremely important, as is folic acid.  A wide variety of fruits and vegetables are also extremely important.

Your doctor didn't give you any nutritional guidelines?  Really?  

Go buy the book Eating for Pregnancy - read it and use their recipes.  Many of the recipes are good for multiple meals, which should help your busy lifestyle.
