What
you can do about it..
• Eat small frequent meals a day instead of the
three biggies (breakfast, lunch, dinner with nothing
in between)
• Snack healthily in between meals to keep the
tummy full and prevent blood sugar level from dipping
• Snack before bedtime
• If you can eat, eat foods that you like for
now; you can pay attention to nutrients later on. This
way you are able to keep your blood sugar up and keep
that sick feeling at bay
• Try taking your prenatal vitamin with food or
just before bed and not first thing in the morning;
also check with your doctor if you can switch to a vitamin
with less iron as this mineral can be hard on your system
• Avoid stress and fatigue as a pregnant woman
tires very easily anyway
• Before getting off your bed in the mornings,
eat a cracker, dry toast or something equally bland
with some water
• Try taking short naps in between to avoid being
tired
• Ginger tea mixed with a little honey or lime
juice helps
• You can try sniffing on a lemon; it didn't do
anything for me but it just might work for you
• Foods and smells that bring on the queasy feeling
should be avoided at all cost
• Maintain your protein intake (chicken soup)
and complex carbohydrates (potato, rice)
• If you cannot eat, concentrate on drinking plenty
of fluids; it is important to stay hydrated
• Evidence suggest Vitamin B6 taken in right dose
helps in lessening the effects of sickness; seek your
doctor's advice
• If nothing else works ask your doctor for antinausea
medications that are safe during pregnancy
