Pregnant and breastfeeding

[DeChRi]

Hi,

I have a 22 mnth old the nurses a lot and just found out we are expecting. I'm suddenly insanely hungry all the time, which is different that my other pregnancies.

Should I be getting additional calories? Calcium? Etc?

Thanks!

Yeah, you basically need to eat for a twin pregnancy. When I was pg and nursing (my dd was9mo when I conceived) I ate all the time and drank TONS of water.

I agree w/pp I had a 12m old nursling when I found out I was pg ,y 1st pg symptom was that I was always dying of thirst! And yes you need many more calories than just a pg or nursing alone. congrats!

Thanks! I just feel like I am SO hungry all the time. Kind of like when I was nursing a newborn.

I am perfectly happy with more calories. ;-)
