How to handle nausea and vomiting caused by car rides during the 21st week of pregnancy

Patient's question:

I'm 21 weeks pregnant. Today, I went out for a ride in the car and then felt my stomach, a bit dizzy while riding and wanted to vomit. When I got home, I ended up vomiting. After that, I drank warm water but ended up vomiting all of it out again. What's going on? It feels like I've vomited out all my bile. Will my stomach and the baby be affected? After vomiting, I can now eat dinner, but I'm afraid to eat anything because I feel like whatever I eat will come back up. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to assist you. Based on the questions you've consulted, it seems you're 21 weeks pregnant and feeling a bit dizzy when traveling, experiencing stomach bloating, and occasional dry heaving, which might be related to motion sickness. After experiencing motion sickness and dry heaving, it's recommended to drink some warm water and eat some millet porridge two hours later. Since you've experienced motion sickness again after becoming pregnant, it's best to avoid long-distance travel in the future. The above suggestions are for the question "I'm 21 weeks pregnant and felt stomach bloating today after taking a trip in a car." I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
