What Causes Vomiting With Blood During 16 Weeks Pregnancy?
Question: hi I am 16 weeks pregnant today I puked and it had pink streaks can it be blood is it something to be worried
Brief Answer:
throat injury might be the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
In my opinion sometimes the excessive or forceful vomiting lead to injury to throat.
The injury leads to breaking of capillaries leading to blood in vomiting.
This blood is seen as red or pink streaks.
Dont worry as the sickness is routinely seen in pregnancy.The antiemetics like doxinate or metochlorpromide or ondansetron can be taken.They are safe to use in pregnancy.
Also gastritis is commonly seen in 2 nd trimester.This might also aggravate nausea leading to vomiting.So antacids can be taken.
Avoid spicy and oily diet.And take food in small quantities every 2 hourly.Adequate fluids upto 3 litres is advisable.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss furthur.

they were just 2 to 3 dark pink streaks also mostly I puke when I drink milk and travel what can 2 the issue
Brief Answer:
Motion sickness might be the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,I got your query.I understand your concern.
In my opinion the vomiting specifically after milk intake might be due to milk smell or any intolerance.
So as you are feeling so avoid milk.And take other milk products along with calcium supplements to meet the calcium needs.
The vomiting during travel might be due to motion sickness.
Avoid any frequent journeys and long journey is restricted to 2 nd trimester ie.,13-28 weeks.Antiemetics before journey will help.
Nothing to worry about the blood streaks they are due to throat injury due to retching and forceful vomitings.
Hope this satisfies your query.
