Food cravings and aversions are common during this period. Eating a dry toast or cereals before getting out of bed, small and frequent meals, fluids between meals and avoiding food aromas, which trigger nausea, are helpful.
Heartburn and constipation are common as a result of slower gastro-intestinal movements. Remaining upright for at least half an hour after eating, high-fiber diet, fluids, eating in small intervals, avoiding fried foods and regular, moderate exercise are helpful. Those suffering from hypertension, gestational diabetes or other complications must be in regular touch with their physicians and nutritionists. ©
