Morning-Sickness Friendly Nutrition: How to Keep Vitamins Down & Baby Nourished
Up to 80 % of expectant moms wrestle with nausea. Skipping nutrients isn’t the answer—these strategies let you reap the benefits of Pink Stork’s Total Prenatal + DHA even on queasy days.
1. Split Doses for Gentler Absorption
Take one capsule with breakfast and the second after dinner. The veggie capsule and low-odor algae DHA are already easier on sensitive stomachs.
2. Pair with Protein & Complex Carbs
A slice of whole-grain toast + almond butter stabilizes blood sugar and curbs nausea spikes.
3. Embrace Vitamin B6 & Ginger
-
Pink Stork’s prenatal supplies 2 mg of active B6 (P-5-P), the dosage many OB-GYNs recommend.
-
Sip ginger tea or chew ginger chews 10 minutes before swallowing your capsule.
4. Stay Cool & Hydrated
Cold beverages and popsicles can numb queasy receptors. Aim for 80 oz of fluids daily.
5. Environment Tweaks
Avoid strong cooking smells; open windows or use an exhaust fan during meal prep.
Ingredient Synergy: Why This Formula Stands Out
| Comfort Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Chelated Iron | Less gastric irritation |
| Hypromellose Capsule | Plant-based, dissolves smoothly |
| No artificial colors | Reduces additives linked to reflux |
Quick Nausea-Friendly Snack Ideas
-
Plain popcorn sprinkled with iodized salt (iodine boost).
-
Frozen grapes for a hydrating treat.
-
Smoothie: oat milk + banana + spoon of vanilla yogurt + ice.
FAQ
- Should I take my prenatal at night?
- If morning sickness peaks early, bedtime dosing can help—just pair with a light snack.
- Can I refrigerate the capsules?
- Yes. The cool temp may curb the scent and feel soothing.
- Is algae-based DHA as effective as fish?
- Absolutely—it’s the same molecular DHA without fishy burps.
Wrap-Up
Nourishment doesn’t have to halt when nausea hits. With small tweaks—and the gentle design of Pink Stork’s Total Prenatal + DHA—you’ll keep critical nutrients on board and baby thriving.
