Morning Sickness-friendly Foods

Hopefully we’re early enough that none of us are feeling the quease just yet. But I know it’s coming for me, so here are some things I’ve stocked up on.
Trail mix: salt, and fast, helps me when I get that sudden “I’m starving and going to be sick if I don’t eat” feeling. Mine is dried cranberries, whole roasted almonds, sunflower seeds, and pepitas.
Goldfish: again, salty and portable. Last pregnancy I had one of those giant cartons at work and just ate a handful every half hour while I was at my worst and no other food appealed.
Easy Mac and 1-minute pasta: okay, so these aren’t exactly ideal healthy, but when morning sickness is truly terrible and the thought of cooking food makes me green at the gills, calories fast (to settle my stomach) that cook quickly, keeping the smell to a minimum, are life savers.
saltines: by the bed, first thing you eat in the morning
frozen cooked chicken: I had a thing last time about raw meat, seeing it, smelling it, and it made life hard for my husband who just wanted dinner. This time around, I’ve loaded us up on frozen grilled chicken that we can reheat and add to salads with no raw meat sight necessary!
peppermints and sour candy: once the nausea hits, especially in public, these are the difference for survival
anyone else stocking the larder or have good ideas to share? Any FTMs with questions about what to expect?

I’m hoping it won’t be as bad this time around, but we’ll see. Last time I did vitamin b and unisom, and if that didn’t work then zofran. I can’t afford to be sleepy from the unisom this time, with a toddler running around, so we’ll see!

Did anyone else have the experience of a really bad taste in your mouth? I had that all first trimester with my daughter, my OB said it was just a hormonal thing and would pass, and the only thing that helped was citrus (like lemon or lime in water) and, as was mentioned before, hard sour candies. I have some preggie pops leftover from when I was pregnant with my daughter back in 2015? They *may* not still be good, I should probably order some new ones. Gonna wait another week or so though and make sure this bean sticks.
