You're pregnant, congratulations! You have an exciting 9 months ahead of you. Mood swings, food cravings and morning sickness await, but so does the unfettered right to eat for two - right?

You must remember that one of you is tiny. Especially in the early days, the food on your plate is bigger than the bay in your belly.
