Common in pregnancy

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Morning sickness, burping, bloating, headaches in pregnancy are due to the hormonal changes which occur in pregnancy.
You should avoid eating spicy food, do not eat too much at a time and eat small meals at 3-4 hours interval.
You can take tablet doxinate if the morning sickness is excessive.
Paracetamol can be taken for severe headache.
Diet plan can be suggested as below:
7 AM- tea with 2 toasts
9 AM- 2 chapati/upma/uttapam/poha
11AM- 1 glass milk/ fruit/ nuts
1-2 PM- 2 chapati, daal, vegetables, 1 cup curd, half plate rice
3PM- roasted gram/peanuts
5Pm-tea/ XXXXXXX shake
8PM- Dinner as in lunch with different vegetable, salads
10PM- 1 glass milk.
