they say that because they would just DIE if you lost when when you were preg.
I always LOST weight in all my pregs, at least until the last tri. My appetite very up and down, but I just couldn't do anything but eat the best stuff I could within the limits of my hunger.
My appetite has been very up and down too, in the first 13 weeks of my pregnancy i lost a few kg due to no appetite, then it came back with a vengance. Bub will take what he/she needs first and your body will soon tell you if it doesnt have enough left to run on. If your worried about bub try to take a daily multivit with iron and folate in it, and drink milk when you can, but dont stress, bub will get what it needs from your body.
I think that you only need to add those 300 calories in the last trimester babe.
Just have a chat to your midwife or Ob at your next appointment.
If you're feeling ok, have good energy and stuff then I wouldn't worry about it too much. Pregnancy affects everyone differently. I had days where I'd eat next to nothing and then other days when I'd eat us out of house and home DH would come home from work and there would be half the food in the fridge than there was when he left LOL
As for what your girlfriends have said about you hurting the baby, that isn't right (unless you were underweight and you've told us you aren't). Baby will get what it needs from YOU and it will be you that suffers LOL.
