Morning Sickness
- Stop eating spicy and high-fat food. Burger and fries might’ve been a go to option for you until now, but they’re going to make your life a living hell in the morning. Instead, try eating bland food.
- Drink water between meals, opposed to drinking during your meals. You want to avoid having a full stomach as much as possible. You can also go for a glass of milk, or ginger tea.
- Avoid being close to strong odors, such as garlic, fried onions, raw meat or coffee.
- Try aromatherapy, with pregnancy-safe smells like lemon, mint or ginger.

- Power naps – practice sleeping for 15-20 minutes and do it a couple of times per day. They are extremely good for your brain, and will help reduce both stress and the feeling of tiredness.
- Exercise – You may feel too tired to even get out of bed, but believe it or not, exercising will actually increase your endurance and help you restore some of your lost energy.
- Diet – at this point you’ve already adjusted your diet to eat healthier, but you should also know that you’re supposed to be eating at least 300 calories more than normal. Do it in multiple small meals, opposed to having 3 big meals a day.
