Hi; good you reported in Healthcare Magic.

This type of vomiting cannot be attention seeking vomiting. Dark colour vomiting is likely to be due to bile in it which denotes that it is very serious problem. If it is reddish brown, it could be due to blood in it.

Under any circumstances, she needs hospitalization and intravenous fluid therapy with some injection to control the vomiting. Intravenous therapy will correct her dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and acidosis, which otherwise are risky for her life.

Please take her to a good obstetrician. Do not neglect calling it as attention seeking vomiting.
