Will vomiting blood during pregnancy affect the fetus?

Pregnancy is a process that most women will go through. During the ten months of pregnancy, in order to ensure the smooth delivery of the fetus, pregnant women often need to pay special attention to the physical condition of themselves and their children, and perform B-ultrasounds regularly to determine whether the child's growth and development are normal. When pregnant women vomit blood during pregnancy, many of them feel worried. Will vomiting blood affect the health of the fetus?

Will morning sickness and vomiting blood affect the fetus?

Affects fetal development

When pregnant women have severe morning sickness accompanied by vomiting blood, it will affect their intake of nutrients and cause a large loss of ions in the body, leading to malnutrition. The nutrients needed for the fetus's growth and development in the mother's body are all supplied by the mother's placenta. If there is a lack of nutrition at this time, it will affect the growth and development of the fetus.

In severe cases, it can cause miscarriage

If a pregnant woman vomits blood continuously or loses too much blood, the blood cannot nourish the fetus, which can easily lead to miscarriage, premature birth, intrauterine growth retardation, or even fetal death. This should be taken seriously, and the patient should be admitted to the hospital for examination, other diseases should be ruled out, and symptomatic treatment should be given.

Influence on fetal personality formation

Severe vomiting during pregnancy and vomiting blood during pregnancy often make pregnant women resist and fear pregnancy, which will cause increased corticosterone levels in the pregnant woman's body. Corticosterone molecules can be transferred to the fetus through the placenta. If the fetus is exposed to the mother's high corticosterone level environment for a long time, the receptors in the fetal brain become less sensitive. After such children are born, when they encounter emotions such as depression and anxiety, the regulation of the brain's adrenal corticosterone negative feedback loop will not be as precise and sensitive as that of ordinary people, causing the children to be timid and fragile, easily excited, and timid in action.

How to treat morning sickness and vomiting blood

If a pregnant woman vomits blood, she needs to go to the hospital immediately for a routine urine test to see if the ketone bodies in the urine are positive. If they are positive, it means that the pregnant woman's metabolism has been disordered and she needs to be hospitalized. In addition, large amounts of vomiting blood may also be caused by digestive tract diseases, such as gastritis, esophagitis, etc., so it is necessary to check whether the above-mentioned diseases occur and actively treat them symptomatically.

The occurrence of morning sickness and vomiting blood has a lot to do with the food that pregnant women eat. If morning sickness is severe, try not to eat hard foods, because these hard foods can easily scratch the esophagus during morning sickness and cause bleeding. Try to eat more semi-liquid foods or softer foods, such as noodles, milk, bread, porridge, etc.

Vomiting blood in pregnant women usually happens to expectant mothers with severe pregnancy reactions, so vomiting should be properly controlled to reduce the occurrence of bleeding. When nausea and vomiting occur, you can hold a piece of ginger, drink a glass of lemon water, or eat a piece of soda cracker. This will help relieve the symptoms of nausea. When the vomiting gets better slightly, you can eat according to your own preferences, or you can take deep breaths.

After reading the above introduction, everyone should know that morning sickness and vomiting blood have a great impact on the fetus, so don’t take it lightly after discovering this problem. You must pay attention to it and take timely measures to treat the vomiting blood and create a good environment for the child’s growth. Since drugs will have an impact on the fetus, it is best not to take drugs if it can be improved through diet therapy.
