A little bit of pain with cramping in early pregnancy is common. But call your healthcare provider if your pain doesn't go away after several minutes of rest.

On average, you'll need 340 extra calories a day in the second trimester, and about 450 extra calories a day in the third trimester. If you're overweight or underweight, or having twins or multiples, you'll need more or less than this depending on your weight gain goal.
Make those calories count
Skip the junk food and have a healthy pregnancy snack or a pregnancy superfood instead.
