Pregnancy is an exciting journey, but for many moms-to-be, morning sickness can cast a shadow over those first few months. (I am speaking from firsthand experience!) Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) are incredibly common, but that doesn’t mean you have to suffer in silence! Here are five easy, natural ways to ease nausea and feel more like yourself:
- Snack Smart: Keep plain crackers or dry cereal at your bedside. Eating a small snack before getting out of bed can help settle your stomach.
- Stay Hydrated: Sip on ginger tea or lemon-infused water throughout the day. These natural remedies can work wonders for reducing queasiness.
- Small, Frequent Meals: Instead of three big meals, try eating smaller meals every 2–3 hours to avoid an empty stomach.
- Cold Foods Over Hot: If smells trigger nausea, opt for cold meals like fruit smoothies, yogurt parfaits, or chilled salads.
- Try Ginger and Vitamin B6: These have been shown to help alleviate nausea. A ginger smoothie or a supplement (after consulting your doctor) could make a difference.
If you’re looking for more ideas, I’ve compiled a collection of easy, nutritious recipes in my book, Nausea No More: Comforting Bites for Moms-to-Be. This cookbook is packed with quick, nausea-friendly meals designed to support a healthy pregnancy while soothing morning sickness.
