You should watch your calories, eating too much mean rapid weight gain which increase your chance of stretch marks, gestational diabetes, and high blood pressure.

Definitely not good for you, but the calorie intake is just a guideline. If you have a very active lifestyle and job then obviously you will need more. For example I walk between 1.5 and 3 miles, 6 days a week. Sometimes I walk more than that. So I should probably be eating a little more than I do. Regardless I am slowly gaining and baby is healthy. But please don't double your calorie intake. And don't forget about all the empty calories that are in chocolate, fizzy drinks, sweets and crisps. Try to fill up on carbs and protein.

If thats what you feel comfortable eating then only problem may be if u dont have high metabolism you may find hard to loose weight once you had bubba. If your skinny your body might be wanting fat x

Wow that's a lot. Don't do that you'll gain weight like crazy. You're only suppose to have 300 more calories a day in your second trimester then 500 your third.
