Hello ma'am and welcome.
Don't let that get to you. You need to understand that your body needs to provide for your increasing demands while being pregnant, and not just that but even the needs of a new life. Your baby requires his/her food and nutrition as well. You cant expect to eat the same amount as you used to when before pregnant and provide for your body with all its changes and increased demand, and your baby together.
Stay healthy and happy.
Best wishes.
