M/S caused tear in my esophagus!

Yesterday I continued to have bad morning sickness. Almost the moment I got out of bed, I ran to the bathroom to throw up. When I did, there was some blood in in. My husband was there and saw it too and we were both pretty worried.
It just so happens that we had been invited for lunch at the home of a local doctor, so we asked him about it. He told us that it's nothing to worry about too much, unless there's a ton of blood. He says it's caused by small tears throughout my esophagus that are caused by irritation from all the throwing up. I can't believe that as I wrap up my first trimester, the morning sickness is getting worse!!
Anyone else ever have this?

My sickness has stopped now, but i had a little blood in it sometimes, it worried me a little, but there was only a tiny amount and it was only when i was (TMI) wretching alot before hand.

Thanks for the post. When did you M/S subside?

Ouch!! I didnt have MS like yours thankfully!! Mine short bout subsided about 11 weeks ish and then returned very briefly at 16ish. Not long hopefully!!

I'm so pleased you posted this. I too have been suffering for a couple of weeks now from bad morning / evening / feeling groggy all day sickness!

A couple of times now, in the morning I've seen very small amounts of blood in it and panicked a little so thanks for the reassurance.

Hope yours subsides soon hon...

:hugs:

Mine wasent really to bad, it was just most morning id walk round wretching then some id be sick, but it stopped at about 10 weeks. I still feel a nauseous some times, normally when im too hot, but havent actually been sick for 3 weeks now, (except for the morning of my scan, but i put that down to nerves).
Ive been lucky though this time.

Oh when i was in 1st tri i had horrible MS and everytime i threw up i was spitting up blood to I asked and it was just tearing going on, I still threw up every now and then and still spit up blood cause i throw up so hard...

ive had blood come up from violent vomiting in the past, small tears and such like you say, it can happen!

It's called a Mallory-Weiss tear and is caused by increased pressure in the abdomen and occurs at the junction between the stomach and gullet. It is common in people who vomit/hiccup forcefully - which includes a lot of us! You may also notice your poo is darker for a day or 2 afterwards as this is what blood looks like when it breaks down in the gut. Most people heal spontaneously over several days. If the bleeding doesn't stop, you've vomited a lot of blood, you see a lot of blood or black stuff in your poo or feel dizzy and unwell then make sure you see a doctor but usually, it's nothing to worry about :hug:

Yikes. Hope it lets up for you soon! My morning sickness finally started to subside this week (week 12).

I had this with my 1st pregnancy and threw up so much I went from 8stones 2lb to 6 stones 3lbs. Yep also bled loads when I was sick although it looked black instead of red most of the time. It was very frightening but Dr reassured me I wouldn't bleed to death:rofl:....I didn't:dohh:
