Vomiting blood-34 weeks pregnant

100 replies

WellFuck3 · 30/10/2022 21:48

NC. Posting for traffic! Now OBVIOUSLY 111/A&E is what I should be doing, I’m 34 weeks pregnant, felt awful the last few days just tired/drained/nauseous. Tonight I was laying in bed getting DD to sleep when I just knew I was going to vomit, just about made it to the bathroom in time and it was pure bright red blood and a lot of it🤢 still feel sick but not being sick, headache. Also freaking out as I’m on clexane but admittedly forget to take it some days, in fact all of last week I took it once when I remembered (I know). Although I HATE taking it as it gives me nosebleeds and have bleeding coming out my ears when I take it (been to pregnancy assessment unit about that, the haematologist said it was fine to continue taking them).
But here is my dilemma! I have 5 young children here all asleep, my go to’s are DH and my mum, DH is away with work for the week, DM is 7 hours away visiting family, I live rural without a neighbour for miles, and no one else I could call! Wtf do I do? Could it of been a one off from the strain of vomiting causing the bleed? Also don’t particularly want my children to wake up and find me dead…
I basically need someone to tell me I am going to be fine until tomorrow when I can ask DH or DM if it’s possible to travel back so I can be seen.. please🙏🏼

You need to get them up and take them with you op.
Don't mess around with this

Stopsnowing · 30/10/2022 21:50

You call an ambulance. Children go with you if necessary.

Cakeandcoffee93 · 30/10/2022 21:50

A and E asap. Please!!!!!!!!

CornishGem1975 · 30/10/2022 21:50

I'd still call 111. If I had to, I drag all 5 kids out in the night to be seen. Don't take any risks that could be avoided.

Cakeandcoffee93 · 30/10/2022 21:51

Ring ambulance and get neighbours/ friends to help you this is an emergency

40andfit · 30/10/2022 21:51

No one can answer this online. You need to be seen. Is there a parent of one of your old children’s friends who can help?

Cakeandcoffee93 · 30/10/2022 21:51

Sorry just properly read your post- honestly ring an ambulance and get them to come check on you- take your babies with you. Better to be safe xx

Greentomatoes21 · 30/10/2022 21:53

Ring ambulance immediately. Ring nearest friend or neighbour immediately after. Please don't leave it any longer.

SouperNoodle · 30/10/2022 21:53

Call an ambulance and get the kids up. This is an emergency.

CaffeineBomb · 30/10/2022 21:53

Nobody can tell you that, you have to be seen I'm really sorry. Like you say imagine if something serious happened to you while your children are asleep. Please call the maternity unit or 111 at the very least but expect to be told to go in.

As someone who was on clexane throughout my last 2 pregnancies I never had bleeding from my ears! I did bruise easily but that sounds extreme. Can you ask for a second opinion?

Retsina24 · 30/10/2022 21:54

How frightening for you. Please ring 111 at the very least. Don't take chances with this I feel. Hope all is OK

VollywoodHampires · 30/10/2022 21:55

Call an ambulance OP

I am thinking of calling assessment unit instead and telling them my situation, obviously this being baby number 6 I know most of the midwife’s there quite well and they’ve been accommodating in the past. Will phone them now! Didn’t think of that, thank you

Having been admitted to HDU after bleeding while vomiting while pregnant, yes it's serious and yes you need to go in, taking the children with you if that's your only option. Are there no school parents or family you could call to watch the kids overnight while your DH or DM drive home?

Tonkerbea · 30/10/2022 21:56

You need to be seen tonight, not the morning OP, I know it's not what you want to hear as the logistics are really difficult, but your health comes first. How will your children manage if your too I'll to care for them? And call your DH and mum now too.

LibrariesGiveUsPower · 30/10/2022 21:56

Ambulance now - get a neighbour, friend, anyone you know to come over and watch them. Put a plea on FB. Or take the kids with you.

violetglow7 · 30/10/2022 21:58

You are vomiting blood. Stop being stupid and phone an ambulance ffs!

ChickpeaPie · 30/10/2022 21:58

The midwives won’t see you, it’s not obstetric, you need to go to A&E.
i have no idea what to suggest for childcare though sorry 😞

hamstersarse · 30/10/2022 21:59

I think your DH needs to come home.

I hope you are ok OP, but I’m not sure it’s sunk in yet that this could be serious and needs attention

SucksToBeYouHun · 30/10/2022 22:00

Please get checked asap OP Flowers

Clevs · 30/10/2022 22:02

An ambulance won't be able to take five children. 111 will tell you to go to A&E or send you an ambulance if you say you're vomiting blood.

How far away is your husband? Can he come home? This is a medical emergency and he has children he is responsible for so work should take a back seat.

bettyfreddy · 30/10/2022 22:03

Absolutely get checked op. Also have a plan in place if DH has to work away through the rest of your pregnancy. I'm sure you will do now but with so many little ones you absolutely need to make sure you're covered for all situations.

Sending you love ❤️

Teaandcrumpets95 · 30/10/2022 22:06

Is your husband a distance where he can come home from work?

Either way you need to get to a and e now!!!

If there really is no one then I presume the hospital will get a social worker to watch the kids or have them over night.

Post on your local fb page? Local church group?

You're very pregnant and you're vomiting blood, this is very serious for both you and your baby.

Tbh with how pregnant you are it may be wise for your husband to not work away if he can't come back, what would you do if you went into labour tonight?

Mischance · 30/10/2022 22:06

You do need to go to hospital. The ambulance people will not ignore the fact that there are sleeping children in need of care there and will take steps to sort that.
You need to alert your OH so that he can be on his way back.

Dont call the maternity unit or 111, or seek a second opinion. You need to be seen in A & E.

Ring for the ambulance first, then think if there's anyone at all you could get to come over until your DH gets home (he needs to).
