22 weeks pregnant vomit is black?

[99redspottedducks]

Firstly I've spoken to 111 doctor will be ringing me back within 2 hours. Baby is kicking away.
Anyone else had this? I feel fine in myself apart from constant heartburn
I vomited earlier and it had a spot of red in it
Now the vomit is completely black
I'm also taking aspirin everyday (consultant led) done some googling and apparently that can cause bleeding?
Just wondering if anyone has had this and what the outcome was?

It does sound like bleeding. I hope you get some answers soon. Aspiring can cause bleeding of the digestive system, is not recommended during periods because it increases the blood flow and generally pregnant women are advised not to take it.

I hope it ceases soon.

Hope all is OK

I'm on aspirin as family history of pre eclampsia and I was borderline last pregnancy
However my consultant said it was safe and never mentioned any side effects like this

Hope you get a diagnosis and treatment quickly

Sounds like blood. Sounds like an emergency situation to me.

Hope you get to speak to the doctor soon. What dose aspirin are you taking?

@DumpTrump

Hope you get to speak to the doctor soon. What dose aspirin are you taking?

75mg x2 once a day

Please try not to worry, you may have a little ulcer in your stomach or duodenum which is bleeding and can easily be fixed. I expect you've been told this but when on aspirin you should drink plenty of milk, especially before and after taking the aspirin.

Do let us know how you get on. I hope you get some sleep.

PS: I found a leaflet online from Oxford regarding administration of aspirin to prevent pre-eclampsia: it recommends 75mg once a day in the evening. Scroll down to page 4.

Just spoke to the doctor now
They must be very busy tonight.
He doesn't think it warrants rushing me in anywhere but wants me to get hold of my doctors in the morning for a blood test
And to be checked over
He also rang me back to say he wasn't sure if he'd clarified but he wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to take any more aspirin until this had all been sorted
So sounds like it's that
Since the black vomit my 24/7 heartburn has disappeared though! Every cloud and all that

If you suffered from HG then you may have a small tear of the sphincter at the top of your stomach < Mallory Weis tear >.
This along with taking aspirin will cause bleeding.
Hope you feel better soon

At the doctors now waiting to be seen

I've vomited 4 times this morning
But only specks of red blood now
But also had 2 nose bleeds
Got a splitting headache and just want to sleep
Hopefully this will be sorted soon and I can go home to bed!

How scary!
Fingers crossed it's easily sorted OP

Good luck OP. I was taking aspirin due to family history of pre eclampsia and it being my first pregnancy. I was advised to stop just over a week ago (24 weeks now) as it has caused terrible nose bleeds longest one 1 hour and 30 mins so ending up going to A&E.

Am in the hospital
Waiting for a doctor to come and see me
Have vomited maybe 20 times now
Can't keep anything down
The baby on the other hand is fine and kicked the midwifes Doppler off her

You've definitely done the right thing going to hospital. I'm sure they will be able to do something to help. Good luck with it, it sounds scary. Silver lining is it doesn't sound like it's affecting the baby at all.

That sounds really scary. I'm so glad you're at the hospital now.

Hope you’re ok op

You poor thing, I’m glad you are being looked after.

Hope your ok op sounds very scary

.......
Yes! I'm glad you've knocked the aspirin on the head. It was double the dose of that recommended. However you do need to be investigated in case you've developed an ulcer.

Good that your baby is fine and kicking. I'm sure you will be fine soon.

Just wondering how you are getting on OP?
Worried about you

Am being admitted as my sickness is out of control
IV antisickness and a fluid drip to come
They also speaking to gastro incase they want to stick a camera down and have a look
I really really hope not

That would be done under sedation, redspottedducks. I understand how you feel, I would be the same but know people who have had the procedure who have said it isn't that bad.

However they may continue to assess and treat you clinically for a couple of days. Please try to relax, this will be over soon. The important thing is that you are being monitored, hopefully looked after and the baby is doing well.

OP, hope you’re feeling better soon.

@LizFlowers am sure you’re meaning to be helpful and supportive but many places do indeed prescribe 150mg aspirin in pregnancy and I suspect the OPs prescription was based on the consultant’s experience and understanding of her whole history. (Endoscopy isn’t always done with sedation either - and the balance of risk and benefit in pregnancy may make the other options more appealing.).
