“During at least the last 6 months of pregnancy, you need to eat or drink about 100 more calories per day than you did before you were pregnant.”

This question is for the author of this article: where did you get the information that pregnant woman should be consuming 100calories extra per day in the last six months of pregnancy?

I double-checked this information, and virtually every single government health sight says that pregnant women should consume a minimum of 250-300 *extra* calories per day during the last six months of pregnancy. I realize that many women are trying to be tiny during pregnancy, but 100 calories extra is too few – can’t this endanger the fetus?

Or was this a typo in your article?

Cheers,
