Check with your doctor they usually give you a list of what's encouraged to eat more of and what to avoid.  Fruits, veggies, fiber are all great to eat.  I love fatty foods too like jess and crave them with this little one so it's a struggle to limit them.  but like they said eat in moderation and you will be fine.  Do try to avoid foods that are super high in sodium, a lot of frozen meals are, so a ramen noodles and sports drinks.
