A member asked:

What is a healthy amount of calories to be eating for a 27yr old and 8weeks pregnant woman?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

About 300 more: During pregnancy women need about 300 more calories a day more than what they usually take in. Of course, in the first trimester you probably need a little less than that.
