Try it in whatever form is most palatable to you:
In pregnancy, an empty stomach can often cause or exacerbate nausea.
Water is best, but sip, don’t gulp water to prevent overfilling the stomach.
try eating cold foods (ie salads, fruits, sandwiches, cold pastas) – they’re much less
aromatic. Also, switch to natural cleaning products (unscented or aromatherapeutic, depending on what helps).
If meat, dairy products, or certain vegetables repulse you, don’t force yourself to eat them,
even if others tell you they’re healthy or essential for pregnancy. Other, more palatable foods can have the same
nutrients, and you’ll probably find that later, you like (or even crave) the foods you can’t stand now.
(Moms who weren’t habitual milk drinkers prior to pregnancy often find this especially helpful). Dairy lovers who find fluid milk was causing
trouble may have better luck tolerating yogurt and cheese. Those who dislike or can’t tolerate dairy at all can get
plenty of calcium from non-dairy sources.
Drink it hot or iced, plain or sweetened, depending on whatever
most helps your nausea. Earth Mama Angel Baby makes an organic Morning Wellness tea with ginger root,
spearmint, chamomile, lemon balm, peppermint and red raspberry leaf that many mamas like.
Most moms find they can comfortably eat healthy monounsaturated fats, like those found in olive oil, avocado, and nuts.
The soluble and insoluble fiber in oatmeal, quinoa, brown rice, etc. helps keep things moving in the right direction through the GI tract.
Plus whole grains help keep the blood sugar stable, which also helps reduce the likelihood of nausea.
Juicy fruits, like melons, apples, or berries (try frozen wild blueberries), are especially good.
Lemon, grapefruit, or lime, kimchee or pickles, or yogurt (regular or soy).
A pinch of sea salt on the tongue, olive, pickles, soy sauce.
Try a new brand (ie Rainbow Light Just Once, which contains ginger and is vegan) or switch to a chewable.
switch to a mild, natural, SLS-free toothpaste (ie Tom’s of Maine), and use a soft, compact or kiddie toothbrush.
acupressure, acupuncture, hypnosis, or guided visualization. Earth
Mama has a “Morning Sickness Relief” CD, and Hypnobabies has an “Eliminate Nausea Now!” CD.
