Answer 1

Between 300 and 350 extra calories it is recommended to consume during the second trimester of pregnancy. The reason for the increase in calories is because the baby begins at the stage where his bones begin to strengthen and requires a greater amount of calories on the part of the mother, especially calcium, vitamin D and magnesium.
