The American Pregnancy Association says these foods may help tame morning sickness:

• Foods that can be eaten cold, including cold sandwiches, raw vegetables and fruits such as lemon or ginger, or cold salad. Don't use dressings, seasonings or condiments.
• Foods that aren't too spicy or flavorful, such as plain soups and broths, or a plain baked potato.
• Crackers or pretzels.
• Jello or popsicles.
• Peppermint tea.
