Dietary principles for early pregnancy

Most pregnant women will experience severe morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy. Expectant mothers with mild morning sickness may occasionally experience nausea and vomiting, which may occur once every few days. Some expectant mothers have strong reactions. They vomit whatever they eat, and they will vomit even if they don’t eat. The vomiting is no longer limited to the morning, but they vomit “anytime and anywhere.” In early pregnancy, you should pay attention to the following dietary principles:

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

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.
