Eating can be comparable to torture when you are in the early part of pregnancy. There are some foods that can be easy on the stomach and healthy for you at the same time. Below are some suggestions of foods that may work for you.
Fresh fruits can be somewhat easier on a queasy stomach for some people. Try oranges and strawberries, although they are acidic some people don’t have problems with them. The acidity may be a bit high for some people, but if you can eat them they are very high in vitamin c and also foliate. Bananas are high in foliate and potassium. These are both things that pregnant women need very much. If you are struggling with protein in your diet consider yogurt. Both high in proteins and also boasting probiots, yogert can definately benefit your health. The probiotics can also assist in preventing yeast infections that plague some women during pregnancy. Hot cerials sometimes sit well on an upset stomach. You could try Malt-o-meal to see how it sits. Just getting down a serving of Malt-o-meal will give you good start on your daily requred amount of protein, iron, and foliate. Lentils are also a mild tasting food to consider. Packed with iron, fiber, and protein, lentils are a good thing to try out. Another great mildly flavored food to try is Quinoa. Like Lentils quinoa is high in protein, iron, and fiber. This also has a very mild nutty taste that is pleasing to the taste. With just a bit of brown sugar and a hand full of raisins, quinoa can make a very nice hot breakfast. Figs can be a source of iron and fiber. It seems like many people are able to stomach sweeter fruits more easily. Nuts are also a great way to get some calories. They are high in fiber, protein, and also contain omega fatty acids. There is no question that it is important for any mother to be to eat as well as they can during pregnancy. Unfortunatey this can be hard to do when nothing is sitting well on your stomach. Some of these foods may be a bit easier on your stomach.-
