Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale: In the first trimester of pregnancy, nausea affects 70 to 85 of all women. It has been found to be helpful to incorporate dry carbohydrates such as: crackers, toast, rice, and plain noodles in small amounts throughout the day. In addition, some research suggests that incorporation of carbohydrates can help to increase blood glucose levels that may lead to nausea. Consuming small frequent meals and carbonated beverages have been shown to be effective strategies when dealing with nausea in early pregnancy. High-fat foods can further slow the movement of food through the GI tract and should be avoided unless tolerated and appropriate for weight loss goals.
