I guess it's better than puking nonstop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-455143 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 10:34:58 +0000 sarac 455143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did near constantly. I still think it's stupid not to eat - it didn't make a difference whether or not I had, and I needed all the energy I could muster. I tried to choke down some soda even while I was vomiting just to not have too low bloodsugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-455081 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 10:17:03 +0000 Mrs.M57 455081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, at my intake the nurse told me, to ask for Zofran ASAP, bc I would probably need it. So, I did and was so glad I did, bc even with the Zofran I got pretty nauseous a couple of times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-455059 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 10:10:13 +0000 tororojo 455059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: @cvbee: That's such a relief! I was so scared to eat w/a kidney stone because everything came back up and I went through a million vomit bags. Maybe I'll get lucky and not puke so much during labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-454851 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 07:37:21 +0000 cvbee 454851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: Love that you are bringing this back. Kidney stone mamas unite. I had back labour, so pain was a pretty close call between the two but I definitely threw up more times and worse with the stones (you know, when you are throwing up for the millionth time and it's just stomach acid or whatever that green stuff is? yeah, for giving birth it was just a normal 1 or 2 throw ups and over with). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-454724 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 23:42:44 +0000 StbHisMrs 454724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: @tororojo:<br /> This is an old thread sorry for bumping!<br /> I had kidney stones twice while I was pregnant, had to have pain meds both times. I dry heaved the second time (kidney stones in my opinion were worse than actual labor). I did not get sick during labor, I was induced, and had eaten breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385846 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 11:38:20 +0000 Bluebonnet 385846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is fascinating. I was so sick my first trimester and I had ms in my third trimester, but I was not nauseous during labor. I didn't know people threw up in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385833 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 11:33:58 +0000 Mrs. Pen 385833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: awwwww that is soooo sad!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385825 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 11:29:37 +0000 luckypenny 385825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: lol it's okay! It was out of nerves. We lost DDs heartbeat twice and nurses came in, I was hysterical, everyone was yelling, etc... he went into hall bathroom and cried hysterically and threw up he was so nervous to loose both of us awwww </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385788 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 11:06:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 385788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: oh know!!! that would have made me upset I think :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385774 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:58:31 +0000 tororojo 385774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Really? That's good to know, I'll keep telling myself that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385761 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:52:07 +0000 runsyellowlites 385761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Twice. When I switched from prodromal labor to active labor &amp; when I hit transition.</p> <p>I welcome throwing up in labor though b/c I know it's good for helping dilation..... so puke away! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385753 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 10:49:09 +0000 tororojo 385753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: That's good to know! I've heard people say that the experience is good prep for labor but most people who have told me that don't have experience with both. I know that I hate morphine, hydrocodone and phenergen from my kidney experience--if labor pain gets too bad, I want an epidural, not IV meds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385410 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 04:30:03 +0000 cvbee 385410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: and @ladyfingers<br /> As awful as this sounds, kidney stones do prep you a bit for being in labour. I threw up with all of my kidney stones and I did with labour too. Difference: with the kidney stones I NEED pain meds, and I made it through birth without meds. </p> <p>PS. For the food question. I ate at 12:00, threw up at 4:30pm and gave birth at 8:30pm. And then I wasn't hungry til the wee hours of the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385397 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 02:53:19 +0000 jackieomy 385397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I threw up three times, mostly Popsicles and bile. Each time signaled a significant change in labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385383 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 01:57:04 +0000 erinpye 385383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a VERY sick pregnancy and was sure I'd throw up in labor, but I didn't even come close. I also ate about 5 hours before delivery. I got an epi for my last 1.5 hours of labor and did get the shakes from that though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385329 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 00:01:17 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 385329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I threw up a couple of times before I got my epidural (I think - it's all a little hazy). I was already not allowed to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385257 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 22:18:41 +0000 luckypenny 385257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I kept saying I was going to bit never did.

I ate a meal while I was in the early stages of labor but sonehow the food stayed down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385191 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:34:13 +0000 photojane 385191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tororojo: i've been hospitalized for kidney stones a few times, and i throw up every single time. i guess i can count on throwing up during labor too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385181 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:28:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 385181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should add that I ate half a digiorno pizza right before my water broke, and delivered 4 hours later - it didn't come back up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385174 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:25:59 +0000 bschus 385174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I ate a pretty big meal in early labor, and even with pitocin (no epidural though) I never felt sick to my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385144 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 21:06:12 +0000 HLK208 385144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, on DH :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-385122 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 20:55:30 +0000 Weagle 385122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't and never felt like I was going to. I ate quite a bit during early labor because I expected it to last a really long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-384958 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 19:29:05 +0000 matador84 384958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept feeling it come up because I was pushing so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-384935 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 19:13:27 +0000 LAGS 384935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I threw up right after they broke my water. I threw up with such force that I started bleeding and baby's heart rate dropped. I had pushed her way down and they think it ended in a partial placental abruption. Also, the cord was around LO's neck so it might have yanked a little tight at that time lowering her HR. Yay puking!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-did-you-throw-up-during-labor/page/2#post-384878 Wed, 07 Nov 2012 18:50:07 +0000 Sweet T 384878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't and I was so grateful! Throwing up is the worst!</p> <p>I ate some yogurt, fruit, and walnuts before getting to the hospital. I was also allowed to have liquids throughout my labor (juice, broth, water, etc.) </p>
