Breakfast options?

What food could you manage for breakfast during the first trimester?
My retching/ms is much worse first thing as I am so hungry. But my mouth is objecting to most things! Just wanted ideas o things that might work for others!

I can eat some amount of cereal straight away but need more within an hour and it is then that I struggle!

Anyone got something that works well for them??

Nightmare isn't it? I can sometimes do a hard boiled egg on toast. Or just toast with marmalade or peanut butter.

Or I just do cereal again. So two breakfasts, both consisting of weetabix and muesli.

Also if I am at work I find slightly less sugary pastries can work eg a muffin from somewhere like pret (still sweet, just less obviously so) or even better if home baked.

Banana. Eaten very very slowly.

When i was in first trimester i used to have a barley sugar sweet as soon as i woke up an that stopped the sick feeling after a couple of minutes.
Ive heard the same of ginger biscuits but didnt try them myself
Hope that helps

Toast all the way!

I scoff a pack of mini cheddars as soon as I get to work and stop feeling sick within a few mins. Struggle to sometimes but I know it works

Toast or belvita biscuits used to be my saviour. Something plain that didn't trigger the nausea too much. xxx

notadoctor · 19/08/2014 22:14

Ritz crackers or Belvita biscuits worked for me.

Nairns ginger oat biscuits were great for me... Just got my next bfp so I've already ordered some for my next sainos order Grin

Scrambled egg was all I could eat, anything carby was out, which was wierd cause later in the day I wanted bowls of pasta!

I would have oat cakes (they do flavoured ones with chocolate or cheese). Basically something small, dense and dry.

Also like you I would eat some first thing, then get hungry. Oat cakes are easier to stash in the handbag and have a sly nibble!

Heatherbell1978 · 20/08/2014 08:44

Toast with marmite or just a scraping of butter.

WorrisomeHeart · 20/08/2014 08:47

Sesame bagels are my saviour this time. I have cereal at home and then a bagel as soon as I get into work. I'm starving all morning with this pregnancy whereas with my DS it was all day.

I had a pack of ginger nuts by my bed, and as soon as I woke up I had one and a bottle of water (all of it) i found that any naustia went a way, and I then had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, with some red grapes. I survived on this from week 8-12. Now at week 17 I can eat whatever without feeling sick.

miniHovis · 20/08/2014 09:37

belvita biscuits where my go to breakfast, nothing else stayed down

Acorncat · 20/08/2014 10:29

I just had a bit of bread about an hour after getting up then some belvita biscuits mid morning. I think being hungry makes it worse, but then having food gives you something to bring back up!

LancashireTea · 20/08/2014 10:35

I carried a tub of gingernuts with me and nibbled whenever I could stomach it. And Alpen bars were a godsend to nibble inbetween my classes.

m33r · 20/08/2014 16:36

I eat a digestive before I step out of bed. Really helps. Later, I manage cereal.

weebairn · 20/08/2014 18:18

eggs are good. also marmite.

Couldn't eat anything sweet in first trimester just made me so sick.

Rainbow555 · 20/08/2014 20:45

Thanks for all the suggestions! I stocked up on supplies last night so will see this morning!
Have tried ginger nuts, crackers, bellavita biscuits whilst still I bed but no real luck there. For a while I could eat crumpets but hate them now too!
A whole bottle of water, gosh perhaps I should try drinking more!

I can't eat anything sweet either, think that is why some of the biscuits and things don't work

Will see what I can get down today :)

I couldn't do a whole bottle of water either but I do fill a bottle full with ice and top it up with water at work. I love the cold!

I can't stomach anything before about 10am. I have brunch.
Today I had a toasted tuna mayo sarnie. I also like eggs on toast. I also have these things called corn thins - like rice cakes but corn. I spread philly on em and then put a slice of chicken on top.
I find a 50% protein 50% carb mix works. I wasn't one for a carb before but now I like a carb!
