For many expectant mothers, mornings don't begin with a burst of energy – they begin with a wave of nausea. Morning sickness is one of the most common symptoms of early pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, and many women simply accept it as something they have to push through. But what if the solution to relief is simpler than you think?

Dr Kunal Sood, an anaesthesiologist and interventional pain medicine physician, has shared a simple dietary change that may help ease pregnancy-related nausea. In an Instagram video shared on July 1, the physician explains how a small tweak to your breakfast routine could help relieve the symptoms of morning sickness and make the start of the day more manageable.

He explains, “One of the simplest ways to reduce pregnancy nausea may be changing what you eat for breakfast. Many people think morning sickness is something you just have to suffer through, but research suggests protein rich meals may help more than people realise. Studies have found that protein can reduce nausea more effectively than carbohydrate heavy meals, especially in early pregnancy.”

The physician notes, “One reason is that protein helps stabilise digestion and stomach activity, which may reduce some of the abnormal stomach patterns linked to nausea. It may also help keep blood sugar feel more stable, since rapid swings can make nausea feel worse for some people.”

The physician explains, “That doesn't mean there's anything magical about hitting exactly 25 grams of protein and it certainly isn't a cure. But foods like eggs, Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes, and other protein rich breakfast can be a helpful part of a broader strategy alongside hydration, smaller frequent meals, and avoiding foods that trigger symptoms. For many women, the improvement is modest. But when nausea is happening every day, even a small reduction can make a meaningful difference.”
