One would hope that you would change your diet when you started trying to get pregnant (as it would increase your chances) or at the very least when you found out you were pregnant -- having a poor diet can lead to stunted development in the child and a host of other conditions and deformaties. When are pregnant you aren't making choices just for yourself, you're making choices for the health of your baby, and you'll probably find (and least I certainly HOPE you'll find) that you will want to improve your diet. If you chose to breastfeed it then wouldn't be hard to carry on. I could go on and say a health diet would encourage good habits in your children, but I'm going to hazard a guess you know all that.
