I would just search for something that I felt like eating and eat that. Also, whenever I would all of a sudden taste really good to eat something I would just let myself eat as much as I wanted becuz usually I was hardly hungry at all.

The blood in your throw up sounds like you broke a vessel maybe in your throat or upper digestive area and it can cause a little bleeding but nothing to worry about. Now if you start throwing up brown like coffee grounds looking stuff call the doctor. Remember you have to take care of your self, stress or not you need to try and stay calm and take some deep breaths and tell your self everything will be ok! good luck!!

RandiLee - 165 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) Same thing happened to me last week....for about 3 or 4 days, i was so stressed out that it killed my appetite, and I was throwing up acid......the blood for me was just from throwing up too much, i think. I'm fine now, and I'm sure you will be too.... but the more you stress out, the worse it will get, so just try and relax for the day.

uhmanduh - 165 days ago i called my doctor they cant see me until tuesday.. i swear i hate that dr. im forcing myself to eat. thanks to everyone with all there helpful advice :)

Cindie - 165 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) you should go to your doctor, you may very well have an ulcer froms tress. but Baby3OnWay could be right about it being broken blood vessels.

mommy-of-3 - 165 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I would talk to your doctor about the level of stress in your life and what it's doing to you. They might be able to give you some suggestions as well as give you tips on how to stay healthy during this time for the baby.

Baby3OnWay - 165 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) Since you were dry heaving you were forcefully trying to puke up your stomach contents... the blood is actually broken blood vessels in your throat from the heaving so hard! Try not to stress too much, I kow its hard and easier said then done but try occupying your mind by reading or doing/taking up a hobby. If I were you as well I would speak with your midwife or DR about the blood JUST IN CASE and they may be able to help you with ways of getting through the stress in your life! I wish you all the Best, Much love and hope you feel better soon! BABY DUST!

gr8scottswife - 165 days ago Rating: 3 (1 votes) I'm concerned about throwing up blood. Call your doctor. Why are you stressed? Buy the book Hypnobirthing: The Mongan Method, and practice the techniques. They have helped me with stress.

MelissaJoanne - 165 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) Even if you have no appetite, drink water. If you're nauseous, try to take sips every 15 minutes or so. It's always better to throw up a little water than dry heave. Keep yourself hydrated! If you throw up any more blood, contact your doctor. A small amount when dry heaving is most likely from the irritation that your esophagus is going through while throwing up nothing. Any more than that could be caused by something more serious (stomach ulcer, something of that sort).

ttasha - 165 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) never mind girl, and i would advise you not to dry heave
