Anyone else had blood after vomiting? TMI

I woke up last night with a stomach ache and cramps, and ended up throwing up quite a bit. When I was done I started washing out my mouth in the sink and noticed when I would spit in the sink there was some blood in the mucous (sp). Also, there was a little blood when I blew my nose, which has been common for me throughout this pregnancy. I didn't see any blood in my vomit, but I was trying to not look at it. I haven't thrown up since I was 14 wks, but have been feeling more tired this week as well. When I woke up this morning, I felt better but my throat is really sore, so i'm wondering if I burst a blood vessel. Anyone else have something similar? TIA.

    Yikes!  I'd definitely be calling the Dr. to ask.  Probably just a burst blood vessel but better safe than sorry!

    I haven't had this experience. However, it is normal to have more sensitive mucosa since our blood volume is so much higher. Like bleeding gums from flossing; I am a regular flosser and haven't had bleeding gums for many years and now that I'm pregnant they almost always bleed a little. So I guess I'm saying that the acidity of your vomit could have disrupted several small blood vessels that were closer to the surface and bleed a little.

    All of that violent puking tends to burst blood vessels. Not only do I see it when I blow my nose or hack up mucus, but I burst blood vessels around and in my eyes and around my mouth. Fun!

    BUT, I've heard that barfy moms have brighter babies. I sure do hope there is a little truth to that, I'd hate for all of this suffering to be for nothing. LOL!

    (Yeah I know, it's just an old wives tale. Just let me think it to make myself feel better. Lol!!)

    Personally, no & I've had the nosebleeds constantly too! A friend of mine mentioned to me that she was having some gnarly m/s issues a few weeks back, and she noticed the same things you mentioned. She mentioned it to her OB and hers was nothing more than an irritated esophagus/throat from being violently sick for a few weeks at a time. I'd say it could be just from throwing up, or even your gums, and I'd mention it to your OB. Feel better!!

    Normal for me, both during DS's pregnancy and this one.  I've always chalked it up to my esophogus/throat becoming raw from stomach acids/contents and bleeding as a result - my throat is usually sore for a day or two afterwards as well.   I'll also get that way if I have the stomach flu and am violently ill, so I wasn't worried when it happened during pregnancy.

    Same here... My eyes would look like I was on drugs... Typically the morning puking had a lot more blood in it... Nighttime was better and less violent.

    I puked like 2 weeks ago pretty good and I saw blood too...I think it was from all the straining. You will be ok. :)
