Finance secretary Kate Forbes has revealed she was in the throes of morning sickness when she delivered a key Scottish budget speech last week.
At sixteen weeks pregnant, Forbes says she feared she may have to flee the parliamentary chamber on live TV to be sick in the nearest toilet.
She said: “That was one of the worst weeks I had, where I just couldn’t keep anything down. Budget morning I was just sitting eating a cornflake every few minutes to try and build up my strength for the day.
