20w bleeding after vomitting - info sharing

Tram

I am sharing my situation to sisters who do bleed at 20w and still having nausea.

So I am still not over the routine night sickness, and I am at around 20-21w.

A week ago (19-20w), I vomited after brushing my teeth at night, so I turned to my toilet bowl. When I was done puking and started standing up, I saw a small puddle of blood beneath me (about the amount of a heavy nose bleeding).

I called my doctor right away (it was like 10pm but she is a close friend with my mom so I called her), and she gave me a medicine to place in my vagina, twice a day for 3 days before my appointment with her.

I went to see my doctor after the event 3 days. After the ultrasound, my doctor told me that my uterus was shrinking and pulling in, and that caused the bleeding. I was given a prescription to ease the uterus and to keep it from shrinking, twice a day until my next appointment.

Last night I vomited again harshly right after I went peeing after dinner. I bled again but with less blood than last time; this time it was about the amount of a normal nose bleeding. I called my doctor again and she told me to take 1 week off work, stay home and relax, no further medication needed than the one I was given last week.

Then later the night I went defecating before going to bed, I bled again but there was no blood dropping. I only figured I bled when wiping.

I am hoping not to see any bleeding again when I have to go to the toilet. The bleeding terrifies me. Luckily the baby still keeps kicking like she’s telling me she’s still doing okay. My husband, mother-in-law, mother, and sister are my big supporters. I am lucky to have such a loving family.

So you guys if possible, please share your feelings and worries to someone or people who you trust to keep yourself from any negative emotions caused by pregnancy symptoms/complications.

Last night I also realized how much love and effort my mothers had to go through while bearing us children when hospitals and medical services and technology were much worse than now, when life was harder than now (no washing machine, no dishwasher, not enough food - I am in Vietnam, I cannot compare Vietnam with any developed countries at 30 years ago).

Anyway, going through pregnancy makes me understand and respect my mothers more than ever, and I even love them more than ever!

Well that is the feeling I have to share with you guys for a bit 😊 I will have my 4D scan and blood test a week from now.

I will update so you guys if having similar situation with me can share information.
