Hello first time mum, although you might have cravings and tastebuds keep changing now and then throughout the pregnancy, it is important to watch the weight gain. By the time of delivery you must have gained a total of 7-10 kgs which is healthy. Some elders still believe that only if you gain weight it means the baby within is healthy, not at all. Second and third trimester is when the major weight gain will be. So start watching your diet from now. Cut down deep fried items, sweets, white sugar. Eat whole fruit or in milkshake form without filtering anything. Drink lot of water, try to get good sleep. Keep yourself active, because you are pregnant it doesn't mean you should be resting always, you can do all the household chores except lifting weight etc which your gynae would have advised. Don't skip your daily walk. discuss with your doctor and get an idea on the exercises you can do. Take care, best wishes for a healthy smooth pregnancy
