What Causes Vomiting Of Blood During A Pregnancy?

I am 31 weeks pregnant and haven t had any problems with nausea or vomiting for atleast a month now, well I just threw up and noticed it had a little bit of a pinkish tint to it and thought it might just be from some candy I ate earlier. But at the very end I threw up something dark red, I think it might be blood. But twice today I had pieces of cake and there was a little bit of dark red in the cakes. So I wonder if it could just be from that. I feel okay and the baby has moved a little since then so I feel like there s nothing wrong with her. What do you think?

Hello,
I have gone through the query and understood your concern. Your description suggests fresh bleeding. This is likely to have originated either in the esophagus or the oro-pharynx as the mucus membrane may have got eroded due to retching. If the blood is from the stomach, it will have altered color. Please inform your consultant and get properly managed. If you have any indigestion, you need to attend to it. Any gastritis also should be treated simultaneously. Please do not worry and continue taking adequate rest and monitoring fetal movements. Wish you safe motherhood.
