What Causes Vomiting Up Of Bile During Third Trimester Of Pregnancy?

Hi I m 38 weeks and 2 days pregnant. On Tuesday morning I vomited a lot of brown water (possibly bile?) after having a big lunch the day before but nothing in the evening. My tummy has started to get really itchy and my left palm is a little itchy. I haven t been sick since. Is this all normal?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Vomiting sometimes is seen during 38 weeks of pregnancy and nearing term because of the mechanical pressure on abdominal organs by enlarged uterus, particularly of gall bladder and stomach. There is nothing to be worried of. Just take symptomatic treatment by ingesting liquid antacid syrup.
Please eat soft and easily digestible foods of less quantity but more frequently during this period. Intake of heavy food is the frequent cause for vomiting during this period. Continue to drink good quantities of water and fluids to keep yourself well hydrated.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
