my partner had to keep a high protein diet when going through ivf for some-reason-that-escapes-me-now, but now that she’s pregnant, has kept up the high protein and noticed that she doesn’t get as nauseous as she did with our first kid. she still gets bouts of ick but it wasn’t all the time like before. hth, ymmv, etc.

I loved grilled cheese, and also cheeseburgers. Something about the fatty-ness really made me want to eat. I didn’t know it was caused by blood-sugar drop – good to know. I’ll keep it in mind for next time! I actually gave up on sparkling water when I was pregnant – just had no interest in it. But I did like ginger ale.

Emily,

You are so right — I forgot about my beloved Izze! So refreshing and tart. Grapefruit is my favorite and I also love Clementine. They were both very nice during the nauseous stage.

Hope you feel better soon!

I’m in my 7th week and I’d like to reiterate the greatness of Grilled Cheese. And add Izze’s to the list of drinks – 70% fruit juice with a splash of sparkling water and you’ve got caffeine free greatness. Also – keeping a bowl of plain cheerios by the bed to eat before I even lift my head up has made a huge difference.

On the other hand – no amount of food, drink, vitamins, what-have-you seem to be able to counteract the middle of the afternoon nausea that makes me curse my “blessed condition.”
