Morning sickness can cause the early part of your pregnancy to be just miserable.  Finding things to eat can be a struggle. 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.

Queasy stomaches sometimes do well with fresh fruits. Things like oranges, and strawberries may or may not sit well with you. High in foliate and vitamin C, it is worth the shot to try to eat oranges and strawberries. Bananas are another option to try.  They are high in foliate and potassium, both of which are definately needed by your body when pregnant.

If you can’t quite stomach the idea of a burger and need protein, reach for yogurt. This dairy product is high in protein and also has probiotics (live bacteria). Probiotics have been noted to assist in reducing the risk of yeast infections and also assist in your immune system health. Malt-o-meal may be a great hot cerial to try on your stomach. This hot cerial is high in protein, iron, and foliate.

Lentils are also a mild tasting food to consider. Pregnant women despirately need protein, iron, and fiber and lentils boast all of these things. Another great mildly flavored food to try is Quinoa. This has a mild nutty flavor and is high in protein and iron. You can make a nice breakfast with this an some raisins and brown sugar.

You can get large amounts of fiber and iron from figs. These are sweet fruits that go down pretty easily. Also another quick and easy option is a handful of almonds, or cashews. They are high in fiber, protein, and also contain omega fatty acids.

It is important for a pregnant woman to try her best to heat healthy during all parts of her pregnancy. When nothing is sitting well on your stomach it is hard to eat well. Some of these foods may be a bit easier on your stomach.
