Nausea and vomiting in pregnancy is a very uncomfortable symptom, so a woman may wonder if there are any recommendations to alleviate it. These include the following:
- Eat small frequent meals.
- Drink frequent sips.
- Opt for soft, bland foods and avoid spicy or highly seasoned foods.
- Do not eat very hot food, as cold food may be better tolerated.
- Eat crackers before getting up.
- Do not lie down immediately after eating.
- Consult a specialist about taking ginger, e.g. in capsules, or vitamin B6, as these may help to reduce symptoms.
In addition, it is important to consult a specialist about the symptoms a woman notices before taking any medication, as pregnant women should not self-medicate.
