eating for two

[mrsdsbeaird]

when does the baby start actually eating whatever i consume

They don't consume food while in the uterus... The food you eat gets absorbed into your body and goes through the placenta to the umbilical cord and in the babies blood stream the whole time during pregnancy

ok great thank you

The baby takes the calories and nutrients it need from you from the start

[mrsdsbeaird]

What I'm asking is that when does the baby start to consume whatever i eat like how many weeks

You don't need to eat for two. You only need 300 more calories a day.
