get plenty of rest (tiredness can make nausea worse) avoid foods or smells that make you feel sick eat something like dry toast or a plain biscuit before you get out of bed eat small, frequent meals of plain foods that are high in carbohydrate and low in fat (such as bread, rice, crackers and pasta) eat cold foods rather than hot ones if the smell of hot meals makes you feel sick drink plenty of fluids, such as water (sipping them little and often may help prevent vomiting) eat foods or drinks containing ginger – there's some evidence ginger may help reduce nausea and vomiting (check with your pharmacist before taking ginger supplements during pregnancy) try acupressure – there's some evidence that putting pressure on your wrist, using a special band or bracelet on your forearm, may help relieve the symptoms
