Throwing up blood

So I’ve suffered with bad sickness in my pregnancy. This is my second baby I never had sickness with my first. I was just about to go to bed and was sick loads! I notice blood in my sick and when I’d finished I kept spitting blood and now my throat is sore and dry. Has anyone ever had this? Should I be concerned? I’m 10+6

If you throwing up alot it might be slight damage to stomach or food pipe but if it gets bad or you worried speak to midwife or doctor x

Could just be from being sick, especially if it’s bad sickness that you’re suffering with. I’d try not to worry, but just call your early pregnancy unit or get it seen to as soon as possible to put your mind at rest xxx

I had HG and was sick blood and stomach bile small amounts a time but lots.
If you can't keep any food down and not even a mouthful of water call your midwife and let them know how you are feeling.
You might need to go on a drip like I did x

Sounds like it could be trauma from the excessive vomiting which could cause blood in your vomit. However, definitely check in with your doctor about it and have it examined, especially if you have bad sickness and aren’t able to tolerate fluids/food. They’ll be able to treat the cause of your blood in vomiting, and also give you meds/fluids for the excessive vomiting! Hopefully you and baby feel better!

Get it checked but it could just be damage from vomiting. It happened to me quite a few times as a HG sufferer I kept damaging my throat from constant vomiting and heaving/coughing.

I’m 34+2 and i sometimes projectile vomit and end up throwing up blood. It’s usually your throat being irritated but if you’re worried I’d get it checked out.

It happened to me, it's so rubbish, they said it might have been a little tear in my throat. Really hope it improves for you soonxx

I had this a few times, after being sick a few times you can damage the inside of your esophagus which is why it bleeds xx

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back
