How do I eat when nausea strikes?

I'm 6 weeks and the nausea has started to hit. I'm really struggling to eat anything with nutritional value. All I want is crackers and crisps.

I'm able to force myself to have a decent breakfast but come 10am it all goes down hill. I keep reading how important a healthy diet is, but the thought of most food makes me feel green.
Last night I actually fancied pizza (not great I know, but at least it was something different) but then once I took one bite, I thought I was going to throw up and couldn't eat it.

My BMI on on the low side so part of me thinks that any food is better than no food. But then again, a day of beige food can't be great.
Anyone else in a similar position or have any advice?

I was like this with my first pregnancy i just ate simple foods like soup and noodles and salad anything light and easy to prepare.
Ginger tea also helps with nausea or ice pops

Only you will know what foods you 'like' the sound of when you feel sick. I was the same and got obsessed with crackers, toast, oatcakes and crisps - beige and carby!
Food is food. Don't worry about its nutritional value. Take a pre-natal multi-vit and eat normally if and when the sickness lessens.
My nausea stopped around week 15, hopefully yours will be sooner. I'm only 21 weeks now so it's still fresh in my mind how awful it is. Hang on in there (hugs) Smile
