Like @blackbird: I threw up during transition. I was at home getting through contractions and as soon as I threw up I felt better but knew I needed to get to the hospital ASAP because I was further along than I initially thought!

No, but I came pretty close during pushing! They had me pushing hard during and in between contractions and it was very physically straining on me. I managed to keep it together though thankfully since I also hate throwing up!

Yes after every push I had the little cup ready for me to dry heaev in. I think it was nerves/lack of food/exaustion/pain all wrapped into one. I also got a fever so it could have been that.

Before my epi, I felt like I could with every contraction. After the epi, I felt nothing.

I hate throwing up (who doesn't?!) and I did throw up once (maybe it was twice?) during labor. I definitely felt nauseous more than once. It was no fun, but it was less awful than I thought it might be beforehand. It's just something that happens; you note it and move on. The nurses will tell you it's a good sign of progress, so that's the silver lining, I suppose? And there is too much else going on to really worry about it - hard to imagine before you're in the middle of it, but it's true!

This thread is freaking me out! I too have a vomit phobia but more with other people. And now I'm afraid if I throw up, my husband or mom will throw up. I'm really seriously considering doing this whole birth thing alone with the midwives only. No family!!

@ScarletBegonia: I cry when I throw up and get super embarrassed. Like if I think I'm going to throw up I'll turn on the bath so no one hears me. So my husband and mom have never ever heard me throw up. But so I don't know if they will get sick seeing me get sick. Why us??? Seriously the worst phobia to have!
