Pregnancy is such a tricky time for women with food issues, You're supposed to eat more - 300 extra calorie a day on average- but not too much more. You're dogged by cravings, and your nutritionally challenged mate isn't helping matters.

Here's some tips:

* Renew your vows. Not a marital one, but a new commitment to eat better for your sake and the baby's. "I would say to your partner. 'Id like it if we do this together. I want to go make an effort to eat good things,". Get him to promise that instead of pizza, he'll start bringing home salad with grilled chicken.

* Cut back. As a pregnant woman, you have an additional reason to go easy on high-fat fare. It an give you indigestion. Which is common in pregnancy. So have your pizza, but only once a month and with a fruit salad for dessert, If you like Ben and Jerry's, have a smaller serving topped with berries.

* Pare down portion. Does your guy like fries? Get one serving for both of you to split. Instead of the super-sized bacon cheeseburger, eat the smaller one with less bacon and cheese. Another trick is to buy chips and other snacks in single-serving packages.

* Let him have his cake. "He can eat what he wants at work. That's his choice,"But the pregnant woman is trying to develop good eating habits for a lifetime."
