How to deal with morning sickness

Morning sickness can strike at any time of day or night. Especially at the start of pregnancy. Here’s a few things that could help make the first, delicate trimester a little easier to stomach..

• Keep topped up with plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Eat bland starchy foods little and often.
• Dry crackers usually go down well. Try eating cold meals if the smell of hot ones causes pregnancy nausea. Avoid spicy or rich foods.
• Steer clear of foods that smell unpalatable.
• Always eat carbs with meals. Have a small snack first thing in the morning to avoid an empty stomach.
• Drink ginger tea or eat anything gingery.
• Make a note of what you eat to see if you can learn which foods trigger nausea.
• Get plenty of fresh air. Try to get some rest.
• Experiment with acupressure—it works for some...
