What Causes Vomiting And Gastric Reflux During Pregnancy?

Hi, Im 12 weeks pregnant and ive been vomiting everyday this week where as i hadnt really been vomiting as much before this week. however I can barely keep any food down everytime i eat i just end up vomiting it up straight away. i went to the doctors a few days ago because i had upper tummy pains and the doctor said i had gastric reflux and told me to take gaviscon which i have. the pain has stopped however, the vomiting hasnt and i have been feeling quite faint and dizzy and i have had a head ache for a few days. ive also lost quite some weight i was 50 kilos before i was pregnant and i had gone to to 52 or 53 kilos and now im back down to 48. is this normal or should i go to the hospital ?

welcome

excessive vomiting in pregnancy is called hyperemesis gravidarum..
mild nausea and vomitting is common in early pregnancy due to progesterone hormone...it causes gastric reflux also

but excessive vomiting is not good for your health...

do sonography to rule out twins and other causes that can cause excessive vomiting...

avoid fatty food, take small and frequent diet...
avoid dehydration and weight loss is not good...

you can take tablet doxinate plus 2 tab at night for 10 days..
thanks
