A pregnant woman will need to stay hydrated.
If severe dehydration occurs, the patient would need to be admitted to a hospital to ensure she gets body fluids and supplements through intravenous saline.
A healthy and nutritious diet will be suggested to ensure that the right amount of nutrients and minerals are being supplied to the mother and the baby.
Prevention
Prevention is better than cure, and it certainly stands true in case of vomiting of blood during pregnancy.
A few steps that could help prevent vomiting of blood are:
Avoid intake of alcohol as it causes inflammation of the stomach.
Quit smoking.
Avoid eating spicy food as it causes irritation of the stomach and acid reflux during pregnancy.
Limit your intake of medicines especially painkillers, aspirin, etc.
Home Remedies
Drink Fruit Juice: Regular intake of water and fruit juice can help you stay hydrated and recover from spells of dehydration.
Keep yourself hydrated by drinking at least 2-3 litres of water in a day. Drinking water will help flush out the toxins from the body and also balance the production of urine in your body.
Follow a Balanced Diet: Unarguably, a diet which is well planned, balanced and proportionate in vital nutrients and minerals will go a long way in maintaining optimum energy levels and reducing nausea. So eat healthy foods and drink lots of water.
Opt for Small and Light Meals: Nausea is more common in the morning.
Avoid having heavy meals at night and have a light breakfast to prevent nausea. Don’t overeat – stick to a fixed pattern of eating. For example, eat at a 3-4 hour interval to give yourself enough time to digest the food. Eating a lot at once might make you feel full and cause vomiting.
Avoid Oily Food: Curb your urge to gorge on fatty or spicy foods.
Foods high in fat and spice can cause the stomach lining to swell and cause acidity.
Stick to boiled foods which are low on spice.
Drink Ginger Juice: Drinking ginger juice is an age-old remedy for nausea and morning sickness.
It is highly recommended to have ginger juice in the morning.
Sleep Well: Get enough sleep at night.
Ensure that you breathe well at night for a good night’s sleep.
Take Adequate Rest: Avoid stressing yourself – take ample rest and allow your body to relax and unwind to stay healthy during pregnancy.
Have a happy and healthy pregnancy!
