How to get my appetite going?

Ok so I'm a ftm and 20 weeks. Lately I have not been hungry, if I force myself to eat I just throw it up. I know this isn't healthy for me or the baby. I drink ensure drinks when I throw up just to get fluids into my body. Any home remedies, help or advice for me please anything can help and I'm scared at this point.

I was sick up until about 22 weeks, I literally ate anything I could as I was loosing lots of weight. I mostly ate like strawberries and sugar to keep me going or something dry like a packet of crisps. Try ginger biscuits too they helped me

My husband would cut up lemons and put them in the freezer for me and then l would suck on them like popsicles. I was sick for the first 18 weeks and I lost a lot of weight. I would eat sour candy and it would help a lot. But try to eat healthy if your already not, cold food and healthy is what worked for me
