Throwing up stomach acid?

So I'm not exactly sure what I just threw up, but it scared the s h i t outta me! I'm not even sure if its "normal". I ate around 7, and went to sleep at probably 9:30. I woke up from almost a dead sleep, because I had to pee around 12:45. As soon as I got to the bathroom I started throwing up this yellowish white stuff. But every time some would come up I would sit there and gasp for air and none would come. I'm not sure if it was because I was throwing up so much or if it was stomach acid or if I was inhaling it. I'm also 31 weeks 1 day, so I don't think it's morning sickness. Has this happened to anybody before or know why it happened?

I ate I think around 7 and laid down not that long after. I will probably call my doctor in the morning. Thank you! :)

My doctor recommended taking the heartburns pill & tums also. Your throat feeling like its burning is sadly from heartburn. when do you eat? My doctor suggested that I eat way earlier before i sleep. She said that i should eat atleast 4 or so hours before i laydown that way my stomach would settle in and i dont get heartburn. It has been helping a ton. i used to have really horrible heartburn where it would wake me up at night and make me want to vomit! let your doctor know your concerns.

My doctor gave me pills too for the heartburn, because I guess I get it so bad that it is irritating my esophagus or something like that. Although it doesn't help at all. :\

Anything I can do for my throat?
