The second you see double blue lines, you're encouraged to fill your plate with healthy and nutritiously-dense ingredients, however, if you're experiencing morning sickness, it's can be the last thing you feel like doing! However, skipping meals can make morning sickness worse.
"The refreshing smell and taste can calm your stomach when morning sickness hits. Hot water with lemon and ginger is particularly soothing." says Rosie. You can always count on soup to make you feel a little more human, when you're feeling under the weather. "Soup is a great way to get protein and vegetables into your diet when you don’t feel like you can stomach real foods." says Rosie. Try a homemade soup, which you can batch-cook and keep in the freezer. Carbonated drinks can help feelings of sickness, but avoid those with a high sugar content. Artificial sugar should be avoided too.
"Carbonation helps reduce acidity in the stomach with can reduce nausea. It’s important not to go for anything too sweet. I like Innocent Bubbles or Nix & Kix." says Rosie. Add high carb foods to your shopping list including wholemeal bread and crackers. "They can go a long way towards keeping morning sickness at bay. Particularly if eaten regularly and in small quantities. They keep blood sugar levels stable and are extremely easy to digest." explains Rosie. "Ginger has long been used to aid digestion and reduce abdominal discomfort. Studies show that it may also help relieve the symptoms of nausea." recommends Rosie, "Try sipping cold ginger ale or to add a slice of raw ginger to water or tea.
