foods help during pregnancy nausea image
jamistone2
Could anyone recommend any healthy foods/ drinks during pregnancy? Right now I am about 6 weeks and really feeling sick so any foods that would calm down the nausea would be really helpful too ... also, how long does the nausea usually lasts?? I've been experiencing headaches also, but I don't really want to take any medication right now..... any opinions?
Answer
What I found that worked for nausea for me was eating a high protein snack when it came on. Almonds and some other types of nuts worked best. I also had to eat a high protein breakfast like eggs to get rid of it in the morning. If that didn't work, I kept some gingerale on hand for when it got really bad and that settled my stomach a bit. It's a good idea to "keep the tank full" and not get too hungry, that will cause a lot of nausea, so that's where the high protein snacks come in handy. They fill you up pretty quickly. The nausea lasted most of the first trimester for me, went completely away in the second, and has come back again now that I am in the third (but not quite as bad).
As far as headaches, I feel your pain. I've had pretty severe headaches throughout the pregnancy. A lot of them have been hormone related and nothing makes them any better. But sometimes I will get one when my blood sugar gets too low or if I haven't had enough fluids. So be sure to drink lots of water. :) Hope you feel better!!

Stay away from raw food like sushi, caffeine isnt very good for baby it can cause him/her to develop diabetes. Dont drink coffee or of course alcohol. Try eating greens like peas and drink lots of milk and water. Do not eat raw eggs or any cake or cookie batter that has egg in it and hasnt been cooked. Check out this website. It has some good tips and information on it. Its what i used when i had my first baby. You can also try gettin up in the middle of the night and grabbing a bowl of cereal which might help your morning sickness. Ask your doctor about the drug called Zofran. It helped my nausea a great deal. Congradualtions on the new addition to your family! And good luck.
P.S. when you go into labor get an epidural. itll save your life. lol
