    Where does the nutrition from the food I eat go? Does my body use what it needs first and the babies get what's leftover or is it reversed? Just curious.

    Yep - Babies first! :) I was losing weight during my first tri and my RE reassured me and said not to worry, and not to worry about not eating healthy - babies take what they need from your body! You get anything left over.

    Good. Then I guess I can believe the doctors when they tell me to keep eating, but not to worry that I've only gained 10 lbs. :)
