Vomitting after dinner out

So we went out last night to a posh restaurant and had a chicken dish, I think the chicken was breast and thigh (not entirely sure but some bits of meat were slightly darker than others pink tinge) I think I may of eaten a tiny bit of this but then just cut the rest away just incase.

When we got home I felt very sick and then made myself vomit which followed quite a lot. Just the once but should I be worried?

We normally eat much earlier than 9pm and the dish was quite rich I remember it feeling quite rich. I went to bed after vomiting the once and have woken up absolutely fine.

Is this worth phoning midwife line or does it sound generally ok?

(Responding to bump it for you)
Not sure about the chicken or the pregnancy. However rich food and later than you're used to can make you feel sick anyway and/or it can be reflux. If there was a lot - there'd be a lot as it was a dinner dish.

Maybe call the midwife line to ask their advice anyway :-)

I would be concerned about the chicken being pink, however I think its extremely unlikely the chicken caused you to be sick immediately following your return home. Food poisoning doesn't develop that quickly.
Highly more likely that the food was too rich for your stomach. Monitor for any changes in the next few days such as further vomiting or diarrhea

Honestly I got sick more than once fro 24 weeks or so.

I was basically swigging gaviscon (i carried the 500ml one in my handbag) and eating 10 teeny meals a day by the end.

i'd keep an eye on yourself but unless there are other spots id assume they'll was too big / rich
