Simple Scrambled Eggs and Saltines

PregnancyAmericanEasyServes 27 min

Gently cooked, fully firm scrambled eggs lightly salted and served alongside plain saltine crackers.

During the peak nausea window, getting any food down is a victory. Bland carbohydrates like saltines provide quick relief for an unsettled stomach, while eggs offer a gentle source of high-quality protein to stabilize blood sugar. Importantly, eggs are one of the best sources of choline, a vital nutrient that works alongside folate to build the baby's brain and spinal cord during these crucial early weeks.
