What could cause you to vomit blood during pregnancy?
Q. What could cause you to vomit dark blood during pregnancy and also have a burning pain in you tummy back and chest ? I have been to the hospital they kept me in over night they said nothing was wrong but they did no tests or anything. Does anyone know what could cause it? I'm 24 weeks pregnant
A. It could be pre-eclampsia.
Symptoms of Preeclampsia
If you have any of these symptoms, call your doctor right away:
Severe headaches
Vomiting blood
Excessive swelling of the feet and hands
Smaller amounts of urine or no urine
Blood in your urine
Rapid heartbeat
Dizziness
Excessive nausea
Ringing or buzzing sound in ears
Excessive vomiting
Drowsiness
Fever
Double vision
Blurred vision
Sudden blindness
Pain in the abdomen
Or, if you have morning sickness and have been vomitting a lot it could be that you are dehydrated and now vomitting blood and bile. Or it could be that all of the vomitting has caused small tears in your esophagus or throat from straining.
Be very careful and be ready to go back to the hospital if you continue to vomit blood.

Is it normal to have a fever during pregnancy?
Q. I mean, 4 weeks pregnant.. And is it safe to take advil to bring down the fever?
My aunt is TTC and on cycle day 27, hasn't tested yet but is late because her cycles are 22-24 days.. She has a fever and took ADVIL.. so this early in pregnancy will it hurt the baby?

A. I believe a mild fever is normal, but you cannot take Advil. You can take Tylenol. Check WebMD for a list of common symptoms and acceptable medications.
What are the affects of taking drugs during pregnancy?
Q. my friend has been smoking marijuana and taking vicodin during her pregnancy she doesn't even look pregnant and she is six months. I was just wondering is the drugs are causing her to stay so little, and if she is harming her baby.
A. I dont know much on the subject, but other than the pain medication im sure the baby can be born with some kind of dependency. I've enclosed a webpage at the bottom though for you to show your friend exactly what she's doing to her unborn child.
***Mothers who smoke marijuana on a regular basis have been reported of having babies with a weak central nervous system. These babies show abnormal reactions to light and sound, exhibit tremors and startles, and have the high-pitched cry associated with drug withdrawal. Occurring at five times the rate of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Fetal Marijuana Syndrome is a growing concern of many doctors. Furthermore, doctors worry that children born to "pot-head" mothers will have learning disabilities, attention deficits and hormonal irregularities as they grow older, even if there are no apparent signs of damage at birth. Pregnant or nursing mothers who smoke marijuana should talk to their doctors immediately.
***Nonteratogenic Effects:Babies born to mothers who have been taking opioids regularly prior to delivery will be physically dependent. The withdrawal signs include irritability and excessive crying, tremors, hyperactive reflexes, increased respiratory rate, increased stools, sneezing, yawning, vomiting, and fever. The intensity of the syndrome does not always correlate with the duration of maternal opioid use or dose. There is no consensus on the best method of managing withdrawal
