Plain crackers and toast or for me plain scones.. Try plain cooked oats and if it's better u can add raisins or apple bits. I tried digestives, plain biscuits, bread dipped in milo, plain porridge(I had mine with bits of anchovies) , mashed potato this especially gives energy and keeps u full for some time. I had milk and cornflakes to keep full as breakfast or as night snack. All these during first trimester for all 3 pregnancies while I had aversions. Importantly must fill tummy. Empty tumtum wil make it worse.

is it for all types of food? for me i had food aversion too esp when I'm having acid reflux, but i had to keep thinking of food and the one that doesn't make me want to puke is the one I will want to eat. also when hungry, i eat lots of bread, nuts, milo or crackers!

hahhaha. try something that doesn't have strong smell? something like porridge or maybe some sandwich and biscuit for the beginning . this phrase will pass don't worry

hi mummy! you can start with porridge or soup. then you can also take maternal milk, fresh milk, or soy milk. take care!

I have the same problem and i consulted doctor and he recommend jacobs crackers and it kinda works

How about trying some sour food? It helps me down some food last time
