Q: I am a 25 years old female into my sixth week of pregnancy. I experience morning sickness. Recently, while vomiting in the morning, I found blood in my vomit. Is it safe?
A:No, it is not all right. You should get your teeth, gums and gastric system checked out. The cause needs to be found and treatment for vomiting as well as blood in the vomit has to be followed. For the vomiting, Metoclopramide twice a day for seven days with bland food and small frequent meals should help, along with vitamin tablets Neurobion once a day for 3 months.
