Molly Sims was given a scare early on in her pregnancy when she was hit with a nasty bout of food poisoning.

Model/actress Sims, who married film producer Scott Stuber in Napa Valley, California last September (11), announced in January (12) she is set to be a first-time mother this year.

However, the star fell ill recently after eating a fish meal, which left her vomiting for hours.

She tells Life + Style, "(I got) massive food poisoning! Note to self: Pregnant girls get food poisoning, too.

"I was at a dinner party and I said, 'This is the most amazing sea bass I've ever had!' (Then) I vomited for like seven hours."

Sims is now recovered and admits she has one particular craving: "I'm loving the topping of a freaking cupcake! It's like crazy."
