While a healthy diet is important, if you are suffering from nausea and vomiting or ‘morning sickness’ it’s more important to eat what you can keep down in the first few weeks. If you’re taking a pregnancy supplement, take it each day at a time when you feel less ill. The following tips may also help:
„- Eat small amounts often. Carbohydrate-rich snacks are a good option e.g. cheese and crackers, toast, cereal or fruit.
„- Drink plenty of fluids outside of mealtimes
„- Minimise odours while cooking (exhaust fan, open window)
„ -Avoid fatty or spicy foods
„- Keep dry crackers at your bedside to eat before getting up in the morning.
