What to eat in the morning during early pregnancy

We all know that pregnancy is a relatively difficult process for women. Many women will have obvious morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy. They will vomit whatever they eat. Even if they don’t eat, they will feel nauseous and want to vomit, especially when they wake up in the morning. Most pregnant mothers will especially want to eat sour and spicy food during this period, but eating too much of this kind of sour and spicy food itself is not good for the body. Although it has a certain appetizing effect, it is easy to cause internal heat. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant mothers eat a small amount and overcome a certain discomfort. So what should you eat in the morning in the early stages of pregnancy:

Dietary principles for early pregnancy:

1. Choose foods that stimulate appetite.

Most women in early pregnancy have a decreased appetite or a change in taste. Whether it is sour, spicy, salty or bland, you should cater to the pregnant mother's preferences and not avoid too many foods. The purpose is to ensure that the pregnant mother can get adequate nutrition.

2. Choose foods that are easily digestible.

Such as porridge, dry bread, steamed buns, biscuits, sweet potatoes, etc., can reduce vomiting.

3. Eat when you want to, and eat small meals frequently.

Especially for pregnant mothers who have severe pregnancy reactions, don't be bound by meal times, just eat whenever you want. For example, before going to bed and when getting up early, eating a few biscuits, bread or other snacks while sitting on the bed can reduce vomiting and increase food intake.

4. Supplement 400-600 micrograms of folic acid every day.

When the fetus implants in the mother's uterus, the neural tube begins to differentiate and develop. In order to avoid fetal neural tube defects, it is particularly important for women to start taking folic acid supplements when planning their pregnancy. Inadequate folate intake has multiple negative effects on pregnancy, including low birth weight, placental abruption, and neural tube defects.

5. When vomiting during pregnancy is severe, or even when the patient is completely unable to eat, intravenous nutritional supplements are required.

Several juices that help relieve pregnancy reactions:

1. Apple lemon juice: Lemon helps pregnant mothers to maintain a healthy fetus and aid pregnancy, so lemon is known as "good for mother and child". Apple is sweet and sour and can be used to relieve morning sickness.

2. Tomato and papaya juice: Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, carotene, protein, trace elements, etc. Papaya has the effect of regulating the spleen and stomach and stimulating appetite.

3. Sugarcane juice: squeeze the sugarcane into juice, add a few drops of ginger juice, make it into tea, and drink it after or between meals. It can help relieve nausea and vomiting and has a significant antiemetic effect.
