Blood in vomit..... is that really 'normal'? *TMI*

I'd definitely get a second opinion.

Hey there,

If the blood is fresh red blood then more than likely it is some kind of trauma or irritation to a blood vessel and nothing too much to worry about but if you are worried then you should consult your Dr to ease your mind. If your vomit resembles coffee grounds or is dark brown then this is something that need the immediate attention of a DR.

Cheers

Hi,

I also had blood in my vomit when I was pregnant. It was really late at night so I rang a medical hotline and the nurse I spoke to said to go to the hospital and get checked out. When the doctors saw me they did blood tests and nothing showed up in those so they put it down to a small tare in the lining of my stomach. Nothing to worry about unless it got worse. I started taking B6 tablets and that help heaps with the m/s but check with your GP or chemist before you take them tho.
