That sounds like to few calories to me for a nursing, pregnant woman!  This
has to be monitored closely and needs to  be individualized.  This woman
probably needs to consult a dietician.  Most hospital RDs are able to see
moms on an OP basis and help them with this.  In Nutrition in Pregnancy and
Lactation by Worthington-Roberts 1985 it states that a 150 lb pregnant
woman needs 2235 cal/day.  She emphasizes that support of the pregnancy is
paramount and depending on mom's size and the fact that she probably burns
300 cal.minimum on BF per day, I can't see where she would possibly need
less than 2500 cal/day.  The fact that she is exhausted is a good clue that
something isn't right.  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
