Rinse it off, poke some holes, pop in the microwave for 6-8 minutes depending on size, I put a tiny bit of butter and cinammon on mine - it's fairly filling, and very nutritious - full of fiber and vitamins. Also warm and comforting.

Oooh that sound yummy. Not OP, but I'm also preggers and cooking for one tonight. How do you know how long to cook it in the microwave for? Should I check it after 6 minutes? Do you wrap it in a paper towel or anything?

I usually wrap in a paper towel like and leave one side open (so it's not completely wrapped). Depending on the size of the potato and your microwave - just check after a few minutes. You want it kind of soft. It's kind of hard to over cook it. You should be able to stick a fork through it and have it give a little.
