I just threw up ( I gagged myself brushing my teeth) and I saw blood in my vomit, should I be concerned???


Trey said no , but he is not pregnant.


Thanks!

It depends.... How often do you throw up? I've thrown up blood when I've been puking alot. You might want to call your dr. tomorrow becasue you never know

[BoobyDutyAgainJen]

Eeek I don't know! Do you throw up frequently still? I know that they say that if you do you can irritate your throat and esophogus and bleed from it. I'd call the dr personally.

[rebekah88]

No I haven't thrown up in like forever!!

Is it possible that your gums were bleeding from brushing your teeth and it was just in your mouth? How much blood are we talking, traces, or your vomit was red with blood?

If its really abnormal for you, or there was quite a bit of blood I would call your doctor.

Do you have a lot of heartburn right now? If so you could have a little ulcer. Or eat anything that would look like blood coming out?

Either way it would be a good thing to call your provider for.

I really dont know but the last time I threw up I did have small traces of blood in it, guess i figured it was my throat being irritated and/or ive had a few bloody noses and could have had some blood from that..

[soImarriedAnerd]

What color is the blood? If its bright red and you don't have an active nose bleed its fresh blood coming from somewhere close. Are you pooping blood or black stools? If not its probably not a GI issue, so my guess would be gums bleeding (VERY common in pregnancy, but you would have notice in spit or toothbrush) or a small ulcer or irritation in your stomach lining (also pretty commons but does need treating to stop it from getting worse and possibly causing more issues!). The increase of blood flow we all have makes things bleed much easier then our normal.

This happens to me...a lot. In my case, it's small amounts of bright red blood. It occurs because I irritate my throat from vomiting so hard ( I barely ever vomit, except when I'm pregnant.) My doctor said it's normal for me, but if I were you I'd call your doc just to double check. Good luck and I hope this eased your fear a little bit.

if its a trace amount i would not be concerned, but mention it to your doc or midwife. Ifs a decent amount I would call today

I had this too when I was vomiting hard. It turned out to be tiny capillaries in my throat bursting due to the hard wretching I was doing. And it could very well be from bleeding gums. If it's just a small amount I'd wait, but the next time you see your doctor, let him/her know. However, if it's a large amount, then you should see your doctor.

This definitely doesn't sound like it's a good thing to me. But I would for sure call the DR and get his opinion. Let us know what he says.

Also, gums have a tendency to bleed really easily during pregnancy. If it was just a bit of blood it could've been from your gums.

If it was trace amounts I wouldn't be too concerned, but I agree that you should call your doc to be on the safe side. I hope you're feeling OK soon!!
