It's not bad to encourage her to eat small things, but in my case, I really don't feel like eating. I know I should, but in the last week I've really had not more than some pretzels and small amounts of protein.

One problem with nausea is that certain foods make it worse, and then you don't want to eat, making it even worse. I find it easier to break the cycle by eating saltines or pretzels. After the acids in my stomach are absorbed, then I might be able to tackle some proteins or fats.
