Is this draining on your body to do? Is it dangerous?

Why would it be dangerous?

[pattiewrites]

I can't see a reason it would be dangerous either.

I just know that I don't eat really well most of the time! What are caloric differences for preg and preg and bf???

[pattiewrites]

500 additional calories per day is sufficient. I'd be sure to get plenty of fluids and calcium too.

It takes 300 extra calories to maintain a pg and 500 extra calories to feed a newborn infant. However, you're feeding a toddler so you're not going to need nearly that much. Secondly, you're talking about ttcing. . .not even being pg. As your going through your pg, your milk supply would dwindle substantially to make sure that the fetus is taken care of. Your body takes care of things in this order: pregnancy, lactation, mom. So all that to say, eat when you are hungry, try to make healthy choices and don't worry about it.
