Do what is most comfortable. Many women prefer to eat frequent but smaller meals during pregnancy. This helps with energy and with regulating blood sugar.

During the 1st and 2nd trimesters, it's best to eat small snacks or meals every 3 hours. This reduces the incidence of nausea and vomiting, In the 3rd trimester, you will feel better and should eat 3 healthy meals a day and include 2 snacks.

Eating 6 small meals a day is the best way to eat while pregnant, alternatively, you can eat 3 normal meals and 2-3 snacks.
