    And coffee, is 3 large mugs daily too much or ok to consume??

    Yeah! I have a rough estimate..
    Calories- 1000-1200..
    Protein- 45-50g..
    Fat- 35-40g..
    Carbs- 150g (50%)
    Fiber- 15-20g..
    Is it fine or do I need to change something..

    Thank you!
    You need 1200-1600 mcg daily so however many tabs that is.

    I prefer more like 1500-1800 cals for most people. 1200 is barest minimum and only like 3% of people should be on that intake.

    Coffee intake depends on how used you are to caffeine. I regularly drink that much but many people can only handle 1 or 2 cups per day.

    No not at all, how much were you taking when swaying?? YOu need to continue the same amount you were taking during swaying until the end of the first trimester and then gradually wean off.

    If you were taking more folic acid, DO NOT suddenly drop down to 400 mcg. Continue at however much you're taking till the first trimester is over and then wean back to the amount in your prenatal (or 400 mcg if you're only taking folic)

    If you weren't taking more than that for swaying it is said to be enough by many doctors, although I prefer you guys on 800-1000 mcg minimum. I got a baby with a mild neural tube defect taking 800 mcg and eating a super healthy diet so I worry that 400-500 is not quite enough. Your call to make.

    Anything that sounds good to you, eat it! Even if it's M and M's or something.
