What do you eat with m/s?

CarrieBrad

I have 24/7 morning sickness.  No vomiting but sometimes I wish I would.  I'm hungry but can't decide what would be good... and it seems like after I eat I feel worse.

What are you eating (especially if you can relate to the above)?

Applesauce, yogurt, PB&J, toast w/ cream cheese, cottage cheese, fries, bananas, Bonbel cheese, oranges.

I've been lucky as far as m/s is concerned. My friend gave me advice when I was feeling a bit nauseated... She told me bananas were good for her, because if you do end up throwing up, it's soft, and apparently covers the taste of bile... :S (I don' t know this personally, but she swore by it through both of her pregnancies, and she had some of the worst m/s ever.)

Good luck finding something for your belly.

Protein is supposed to help with feeling gross. I liked hard-boiled eggs when I was pg with DS, hummus, stuff like that. I also swore by ginger tablets and Altoids to keep the sick feelings at bay. hth

For me, I find something vinegar-based or sour helps.  I eat a lot of pickles, or salad just covered in red wine vinegar instead of dressing, lemonades, stuff like that.  It sounds counter-intuitive when you are sick to your stomach, but it works for me and is usually the only thing I can stand the thought of.  I'm like you -- nauseous all the time and I do feel worse when I eat, or when I don't.  Can't win!

whatever sounds good.

And trying to eat small amounts, really often tends to help.

(eta, I will agree that things that don't taste *that* bad coming back up are a good start.  Fruit cocktail falls into that category :-)

Goldfish, applesauce, crackers, cereal, toast, lemonade . . .

Basically, when I feel nauseous, I try to eat something bland that does not have a strong smell.  Good luck!

bagels with plain cream cheese, dry cereal, bananas, yogurt

 

If you are getting sick when you take your prenatal vitamins, it helps me to take it with a glass of chocolate milk. Sounds nasty, I know, but so far it has worked.

I eat dry cereal when I feel ill. Don't ever let your tummy go completely empty, that's when it feel bad. I've found eating fruit (oranges, bananas, grapes) helps alot. If I eat TOO much I feel bad too. Do 6 small meals, that's really helping me. Good luck!

I usually eat pretzels or pickles. I oranges are really good for nausea. That's what they tell us to eat when we are on an EMS call. I also love my preggie pops! YOu can get them at Destination Maternity. They are the best for m/s!

Anything Sour, gingerale, toast, ritz crackers, dry cereal. . . the blander the better and lots of liquids.  It doesnt last forever!

If you like Salt and Vinegar chips, try those. Just suck on a couple. They seemed to help me, and it's recommended by a friend who is a nurse. HTH!
