I have had a sickness bug since yesterday and was last sick about 9am this morning but haven't eaten today. DH is doing dinner and my stomach is rumbling, but will I be sick? I know I should try and eat for the baby, but I feel terrible...

Carbs, SGC. Nice bland mashed potato.. or maybe nibble on a dry biscuit (rich tea or similar.)

Just start with some nice safe toast or a plain potato. I wouldn't be tempted to eat whatever it is that dh is cooking iyswim!

Try some dry toast and see if you can keep it down. Also try some very weak squash - the sugar will give you a little energy. If you can keep a small amount of food down then you are likely to start feeling better and able to eat more.
Hope you feel better soon.

No way Sparkly - the fat would not go down well.

Noooo. Too much hard work for your digestive system.

Something nice and bland. If you feel hungry you will cope with that ok.

Hope you feel better soon. And don't worry about the baby, he/she will take what he/she needs from YOUR reserves.. (so YOU may feel pants but the baby won't!)

he keeps saying that i will be ok to eat it. I don't think I can....

only eat if you fancy it, and eat whatever it is you fancy

toast and honey is good (and doesn't taste too awful if it comes back up)

discovered yeterday that rice is the worse food ever to be thrown up... it sticks to your throat and comes up in lumps! I will eat some toast.
