Gone are the days when a girl could “eat for two” and pack on the pounds, enjoying one of the most beloved cliches of pregnancy. Now, the recommended weight gain is between 20 to 30 pounds.

Time to put a nix on daily ice cream sundaes, I guess.
The new rules aren’t just about how much you eat though. There are plenty of new studies about what pregnant women should eat. Its too bad they don’t all agree. More
