A Food Pyramid and Nutritional Strategies for Managing Nausea and Vomiting During Pregnancy: A Systematic Review
2025
Overview
Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) affect up to 85% of pregnant women and usually begin between the 4th and 7th weeks of gestation, and symptoms often peak around the 9th week and generally resolve by the 20th week in most cases, with severe cases termed hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) impacting physical and psychological health. This review aims to provide a structured dietary approach to managing NVP by developing a food pyramid specifically for this population, based on a systematic evaluation of dietary evidence. The findings highlight the beneficial effects of dietary patterns rich in fruits, vegetables, and protein sources in reducing NVP symptoms. Protein intake is shown to alleviate nausea and vomiting by stabilizing gastric motility and addressing nutritional deficiencies. The review also explores the potential benefits of herbal supplements, like ginger and vitamin B6. By integrating these dietary strategies with pharmacological treatments, a more holistic approach to managing NVP can be achieved, enhancing both maternal well-being and fetal health. The proposed food pyramid emphasizes glycemic stability, hydration, and gradual nutrient intake, offering a structured dietary guide for pregnant women experiencing NVP and HG.
