Enjoy Smaller, Frequent Meals

Some typical stomach discomforts of pregnancy may be alleviated by eating smaller, more frequent meals. Some experts think eating smaller, more frequent meals (specifically, five or six mini meals instead of the old breakfast, lunch and dinner) can help alleviate some of the discomforts of pregnancy, including nausea, gas, bloating, constipation, headaches and fatigue.

Try eating some snacks if you're feeling sick, want to throw up, or have heartburn. Smaller, more frequent meals may also help you feel more comfortable as your baby grows and takes up more abdominal space. Make sure those mini-meals are nutritious by including lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean protein to support your baby's growth. Keep in mind that your baby gets the nutrients he needs first.
