Charlotte Has Just Found Out That She Is Pregnant, and She

Charlotte has just found out that she is pregnant, and she is thrilled about the news. She is concerned, however, because although she knows that her weight and body will change over the next several months, she wants those changes to be healthy. Which of the following advice should you give?

A) Your child will need more and more as she develops, so there is no amount of weight gain that is unhealthy during pregnancy.
B) You should increase your food intake by 10% to 20% to meet the needs of the baby.
C) You are truly eating for two now, so you should be eating twice as much as normal.
D) As long as you take prenatal vitamins every day, there is no real need for you to eat more than usual.
