What causes vomiting at night during pregnancy?
Patient: Hello Doctor,Recently have completed my first trimester of pregnancy but still suffering from vomiting only during night time.At midnight 12 or 12:30 ,ll vomit .And head ll be bit heavy. I have been advised to take Doxinate tablet only when necessary.Is it safe. And pls suggest me good diet and also what to eat at midnight after vomit.It ll be a great help.Thankew in advance! Doctor: Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the vomitings might persist upto 5 months in a few pregnant woman.Take doxinate. It is safe and it is the first line of drug in treating vomitings during pregnancy.Its good that the vomitings are controlled by medicines.There is nothing specific regarding vomiting at midnight.But avoid spicy and oily diet .Take bland diet at night.The vomiting can also be due to gastritis.So if there is heartburn antacids also might be helpful.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day,coconut water to prevent dehydration caused due to vomitings.Nothing to worry as such.They will subside spontaneously around 5 months mostly.Hope this helps.Best regards....
