What should a pregnant woman do if she vomits yellow water in the morning?

Many pregnant women will experience varying degrees of pregnancy reactions in the early stages of their pregnancy, such as dizziness, drowsiness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, etc. Different people have different degrees of reaction. Some pregnancy reactions are very severe. It is common for pregnant women to vomit yellow water in the morning. Many people cannot eat every day because of this. In severe cases, it will also affect the development of the fetus. So, what should a pregnant woman do if she vomits yellow water in the morning?

Most of them appear around 6 weeks of pregnancy, reach a peak at 8 to 10 weeks, and disappear on their own around 12 weeks of pregnancy. Li Caiqin, an obstetrician at Qujiang Women's and Children's Hospital, pointed out that a small number of pregnant women have severe early pregnancy reactions, frequent nausea and vomiting, and inability to eat, which leads to fluid imbalance, affects metabolism, and endangers the lives of pregnant women.

What should I do if a pregnant woman vomits bile?

Hyperemesis gravidarum occurs between early pregnancy and 16 weeks of gestation and is more common in young primigravidas. Generally, early pregnancy reactions appear about 40 days after menstruation has ceased and gradually worsen until frequent vomiting and inability to eat. The vomit contains bile or coffee-like substance.

Severe vomiting can cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, and mobilize body fat, causing the intermediate product acetone to accumulate, causing metabolic acidosis. Patients experience significant weight loss, pale complexion, dry skin, weak pulse, decreased urine volume, and in severe cases, a drop in blood pressure, causing prerenal acute renal failure.

Mild nausea and vomiting are common symptoms in early pregnancy, which can often be relieved by eating small meals frequently and taking vitamin B6.

Patients with hyperemesis gravidarum should be hospitalized and fast for 2 to 3 days. The amount of water loss and electrolyte imbalance should be determined based on laboratory test results, and water and electrolytes should be supplemented as appropriate. Glucose solution and Ringer's solution are dripped intravenously every day, with the addition of vitamin B6, vitamin C, potassium chloride, etc. Maintain daily urine volume above 1000 ml. And give vitamin B1 intramuscular injection.

People with malnutrition can be given fat emulsion and amino acids intravenously. Generally, the condition will improve after 2 to 3 days of the above treatment. Pregnant women can try a small amount of liquid food after vomiting stops and symptoms are relieved. If there are no adverse reactions, they can gradually increase the amount of food they eat and adjust the amount of fluid replacement.

Therefore, the early reactions of pregnant women should also be taken seriously. Many pregnant women who vomit yellow water in the morning will improve after treatment, and the pregnancy can continue. Afterwards, we should pay close attention to whether the fetus is developing normally. If a pregnant woman continues to vomit yellow water in the morning after treatment and develops other adverse conditions such as fever, she must consider terminating the pregnancy.
