I did e-mail the Atkins center when I was pregnant and all they did was quote the book at me. "The induction phase of Atkins is inappropriate for pregnant or nursing mothers." I was asking about maintenace levels of carbs if you didn't know your number.
My advice is to take it one day at a time and do as best as you can. If you happen to carb out one day, don't let it turn into a week. Also, you may need to put it on hold for a while. When I had morning sickness I couldn't even think about cooking eggs and bacon.
Don't worry about losing weight, try to gain only what you need to for the baby etc. and if it goes over a little be thankful you don't go over a lot. If you go over a lot be thankful you didn't go over a ton.
If you're going to worry too much about it, just try to eat healthy foods instead of junk if you're not going to low carb. Avoid margarine and aspertame. Eat healthy fats, meats, cheeses, eggs, veggies, fruits if you can handle it and drink lots of water.
My baby is two months old now and we're both happy and healthy. Even if I did gain too much, at least I didn't gain a ton!
