Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Certainly not for long. Fruits and juices are healthy and full of vitamins and sugars, but they are not enough to maintain a well balanced diet (which must include sources of protein and fat) especially in the 1st trimester of pregnancy. Morning sickness and nausea/poor appetite are very common at this stage, and they should resolve within a few weeks. Anti emetics (drugs that reduce nausea) as prescribed by your obstetrician can help. Adding salt or lemon to food also fights the nausea.
