Vivian-
Please call your emergency room tonight and talk to an RN there, who will
speak to a doctor there. Throwing up blood of any kind is not normal. You
could have several things going on. Since none of us are there to examine
you in person it is hard to make any kind of diagnosis.
So, please call your local ER, or at least your on call OB this evening and
ask him or her what they think.

Subject: Vomiting blood while pregnant
I was just getting ready for bed when I had to throw up--I threw up
quite a bit of blood (or it seemed to me!) I know it was blood because
it was sooo red, and tasted like blood. I am 17 1/2 weeks pregnant, and
have suffered with morning sickness/nausea the entire time. This is the
first time I've actually thrown up in a couple of weeks, though. Is
this anything I should be overly concerned about? I do plan to call my
DR in the morning, but thought maybe someone who might look at this
before tomorrow when the office opens might suggest something to ease my
mind. I haven't taken any meds, haven't felt anything different than my
normal fatigue, nausea and overheating (basically rotten). Thank you so
much for reading this.
