The best breakfasts to ease your morning sickness
1 of 6Boiled eggs and wholemeal soldiers
Eggs no longer have to be well cooked in pregnancy, as they are now considered very low salmonella risk, so you can enjoy boiled eggs and soldiers. Eggs are one of the most easily digestible sources of protein and so help to prevent morning sickness. This combination of protein and carbohydrates should keep you going all morning.
2 of 6Trail mix
Your body goes into a glucose fast overnight, which can add to early morning sickness and leave you feeling unable to face food. Try nibbling on a handful of homemade trail mix and your nausea should quickly ease.

3 of 6Fruit lollies
Sometimes the thought of eating or drinking anything is too much, but sucking an ice-lolly is soothing and helps keep mums-to-be hydrated and nourished.

4 of 6Banana Pancakes
Bananas are a great source of potassium and iron, and provide just the right amount of sweetness for this recipe. What you eat for breakfast has a massive effect on your mood and hunger levels throughout the day. A good protein packed breakfast like this is your best option to avoid any mid-morning sugar dips, energy lows and brain fuzz that would normally trigger nausea.

5 of 6Berry & chia seed smoothie
Coconut water is naturally hydrating and contains five electrolytes that your body needs: potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorous, and calcium. Morning sickness can lead to dehydration, so use this recipe to help you stay refreshed.

6 of 6Apple bircher muesli muffins
These apple bircher muesli muffins are packed with fibre, slow release glucose and cinnamon, which keeps energy levels steady through the day. Porridge oats are high in vitamin B6, which reduces sickness, and they are also really easy to take with you if you need breakfast on the go.
