Question 1

hi i'm 8months pregnant and last night i had bad pain deahria and was throwing up is this a sign of labor?

Accepted Answer

LAbor: Symtoms of preterm labor or labor are: uterine contractions, pelvic cramps, abdominal pain, back pain, bloody or mocuos discharge, frequent contractions that dont go away with rest. Hope this helps. Vomiting sometimes is caused due to the excessive pain. If in doubt call your obgyn asap.

Question 2

i've been feeling faintish and weak lately. i eat i can't do any labor for a long period of time without feeling like throwing up. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy, mono: You could be pregnant or suffering from mono but in any case you should see your doctor.

Question 3

why does vomiting happen during labor and is it a sure thing it will happen?

Accepted Answer

Reaction to pain: Some people vomit when they are experiencing pain.  It can occur with labor.  It does not happen with everyone.

Question 4

severe low back pain, vomiting, no kidney stones. feels like back labor, not pregnant. 29y/o female.

Accepted Answer

Infection: This may well be a kidney infection. Need to see your
local ER or urgicenter. This may affect the health of your kidney.  This severe back pain may be muscular but must be considered otherwise for now. Muscular back pain does not usually cause vomiting.

Question 5

almost 36w pregnant, nausea followed by vomiting, lower leg cramps, tummy tightening, and back pain... plus constant heartburn. labor? flu?

Accepted Answer

Likely labor: This sounds like early labor, which is usually not such a problem at 36 weeks of pregnancy.  You might certainly have a urinary tract infection or virus.  I am sure that your obstetrician would be happy to see you and sort this out with you.  Good luck!

Question 6

after a c section, after 17 hours labour and lots of antibiotics, i am getting vomiting attacks that are intense and lots of dry wretching with hot and cold feeling. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

One more thing: I didn't mention in my other answer, but that is usually associated with pain in the right upper quadrant is gallstones, but all of my pts who had gallstones post partum also had a lot of pain or u could havce a kidney infection, but that is always assciated with flank pain in he back on one side or the other, your doc can easily do testing to r/o all causes.

Question 7

is throwing up a sign of rabies?

Accepted Answer

See below: Yes.  But vomiting is a sign of almost every infectious disease process i know.  If you have any concern about rabies at all, get seen now!  time is absolute if you are infected.  If you have been exposed to any perceived rabid mammals or have even been in a room with a stray bat.  Get seen!

Question 8

is throwing up a sign of dehydration,  what's the proper way to rehydrate without getting sick?

Accepted Answer

Not sign: Persistent throwing up can cause dehydration, but it's not a sign/symptom of it. If taking fluids is making you throw up, proper rehydration is as follows: First, let stomach rest for about 2 hours where you don't try to take anything in.  Then use a rehydration solution such as Pediatlye or low sugar Gatorade and take just a teaspoon. If you keep that down for 5 minutes, take another teaspoon.

Question 9

you know when you're about to throw up, you feel nauseous and sick. lately i've been suddenly throwing up little amounts of food i've eaten, but with no signs of nausea. it just happens when i least expect it. why?

Accepted Answer

: It is abnormal to vomit randomly without any trigger. You are not nauseous so pregnancy is unlikely but urine test should be done if you are sexual active and you've had unprotected sex. Other than that, you should make a diary about the food you ate when you vomit, and time, body position when vomit occurs and any associated symptoms such as headache, dizziness, etc. I assume you don't take meds.

Question 10

ok i have 1 day until my menstrual cycle starts and still no sign my cervix is tightly closed the last 2 days i have been throwing up and getting bad?

Accepted Answer

Menses: If indeed your period is late run a pregnancy test.
