Hi!!
vomiiting can occur in pregnancy more so in the 1st three months and then usually subsides.Some patients continue to have vomitting throughout pregnancy,this is not something extraordinary.
Excessive vomitting can happen due to heartburn esp if the spacing between meals is not adequate and in case one has a sedentary lifestyle and lies down immediately after meals or takes a very spicy or fatty diet.
Kindly ensure that none of these are there as these are the most common causes of vomitting occuring till the last months of pregnancy.Also,iron supplements can cause vomitting and if patient is taking any such,kindly try changing the preparation.
Also ensure that the blood pressure records are all normal.
For the vomiiting,anti vomitting agents like doxylamine,ondansetron or stemetil like preparations are most suitable
