In truth, the first trimester can be rough. Bouts of morning sickness and nausea can often make the first weeks of your pregnancy feel like a rollercoaster ride. To help cope, try adding stomach-settling foods to your diet, such as ginger and foods rich in vitamin B6, like pork, poultry, potatoes, seeds and nuts.

To help with your meal prep, we tapped holistic nutritionist and health coach, Kelly LeVeque of Be Well by Kelly, to share an anti-nausea recipe you can easily add to your grocery list.
