Calories

Hildietm

So gals, I've been put on bed rest due tonpreterm contractions at 28 wks and am wondering what my caloric intake should be...? Pre-preg and during preg all the way up to 2 wks ago I was very active, walking for 30-45 min per day about 5 days/wk. Pre-preg weight of 120, now 144. I know I need adequate caloric intake for baby Bruce, but also since am on bed rest don't want to overdo and gain too much weight. Advice?Thanks!

I am sorry to hear you are on bed rest, and I don't have any advice other then I would ask your doctor what they think/suggest.

I would ask your doctor- but they always give such a scientific response. Honestly if I were put in your situation I would eat when I'm hungry. I think we ( or maybe just me) ignore our instincts because we over think things. I would just listen to your body. It will tell you how much to eat. I would imagine that you'll be less hungry as you won't be as active (?). GL!
