General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, I understand your concern. Vomiting/nausea/ dizziness in early pregnancy are due to high pregnancy hormones circulating in mothers blood. Severe / forceful vomiting leads to fruction/ injury to throat/ stomach lining- & may lead to bleeding. - Scanty fresh bleeding only seen once can be controlled by taking ice cold milk & medicines( like Doxinate) to control vomiting. - Dark brown bleeding/ excessive bleeding in vomitus -needs imediate medical attendance With investigations, treatment for associated gastritis ( proton pump inhibitors )/ Iv drips as per need. - Bleeding with sputum - is usually associated with respiratory infections/cough - need investigatiois/ specific treatment after diagnosis. * She should take bland, non irritative/nonspicy diet in small & multiple servings. The food should be cold. ( cold milk every 2 hours along with bland food servings will help. Avoid starving. Take medicines regularly. have regular follow up check ups. She should try to be positive & tension free. Thanks.
