Finding Foods to Eat When You Have Morning Sickness

Morning sickness can cause the early part of your pregnancy to be just miserable.  Finding things to eat can be a struggle. Search for foods that are easy on the stomach but pack a healthy dose of what you need. Here are are a few suggestions that may help you find some foods that will work for you.

Queasy stomaches sometimes do well with fresh fruits. Strawberries and orange juice are two things that may or may not work for you. The acidity may be a bit high for some people, but if you can eat them they are very high in vitamin c and also foliate. Bananas are another option to try.  They are high in foliate and potassium, both of which are definately needed by your body when pregnant.

If you are struggling with protein in your diet consider yogurt. Both high in proteins and also boasting probiots, yogert can definately benefit your health. Probiotics have been noted to assist in reducing the risk of yeast infections and also assist in your immune system health. Hot cerials sometimes sit well on an upset stomach.  You could try Malt-o-meal to see how it sits. Malt-o-meal is high in protein and also in foliate.

Mild tasting lentils are also something worth trying out. Packed with iron, fiber, and protein, lentils are a good thing to try out. Another great mildly flavored food to try is Quinoa. Like Lentils quinoa is high in protein, iron, and fiber.  This also has a very mild nutty taste that is pleasing to the taste. With just a bit of brown sugar and a hand full of raisins, quinoa can make a very nice hot breakfast.

If you can stomach figs they can be a good source of both iron and fiber. Sweeter fruits can sometimes stay down more easily. Nuts are also a great way to get some calories. They are high in fiber, protein, and also contain omega fatty acids.

It is important for a pregnant woman to try her best to heat healthy during all parts of her pregnancy. This can be incredibly hard to do when nothing you eat sits right. Give some of these foods a try and see what combination may work for you.
