Why Am I Vomiting After A Car Accident At 26 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

I'm 26 weeks pregnant and was in a car accident yesterday. I went to the er and they said everything was fine. I went to sleep and around 2am I woke up and vomitted. Now I can't stop throwing up, I cant even hold bread or water down. My stomach is sore from constantly vomiting. What do I do to make this stop? Im miserable.

Hallow Dear,

This vomiting does not seem to be related to pregnancy; it seems to be related to accident.

Did you have any injury to your head? In that case you need to undergo MRI (X-ray of the skull would not be advisable during pregnancy). Sometimes, in certain injuries, delayed bleeding is noted inside the skull giving rise to uncontrollable vomiting. In such case, you would find rigidity in the neck and inequality in the pupils.

Please report to ER or neurosurgeon again and explain about continuous uncontrollable vomiting.

If you have any severe pain anywhere after the accident , that also can give rise to vomiting.

Please do not ignore the matter and report to neurosurgeon ASAP.
