Brief Answer:
This worries me about gastritis/esophagitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

In view of symptoms in addition to pregnancy related nausea you might be having gastritis/esophagitis with possible gastric ulcer.This happens due to over production of gastric acid.Minimal bleed is due to erosion of mucosa/inner lining.

You need to take antacids with antiemetics.Since you are pregnant medications are are to be taken under supervision of your doctor.These medications should take care of your symptoms.

Please ask if there are doubts.Regards.
