I felt very nauseas during my labor. I even had a fever for a short amount of time. I believe feeling nauseated could result from not being able to eat for so long while you are in labor. B/c if I went longer than about 4 hours w/o eating something, I would get sick and get a headache

A lot of women get sick during labor. It's pretty common. I was lucky and only got sick right after I got my epidural with my second child. That only lasted a minute, because the epidural made my blood pressure crash.
I've seen it really a lot, so if it happens to you, it's normal. It has to do with the change in pressure and the change of hormones. Also, a lot of people get sick with pain. Sometimes, an epidural can help, but sometimes it doesn't.
My cousin was in labor for 16 hours, after being induced, and she was sick and throwing up the whole time. Ended up with a c-section after all that. Now, she just elects to have another section each time.

My husband did!!!!! He lived off of Tagment the whole time I was pregnant. I have heard of many women doing MANY different things while in labor. Sometimes the pain is so much or there is so much going on at once (makes you dizzy) and vomiting does occur. If you are afraid of this happening, don't let a lot of people in while your in labor. Just the basic, baby's father, mother, and mother-in-law. Also think about taking prepared child birth class, it can teach you to focus your attention on something besides the craziness and pain.

I had 4 kids and I never got sick. I even ate 15 minutes before my son was born. I never had any medication with any of mine. A lot of people think that the medication is what makes you sick.
I used the Bradley method. With the Bradley method, you are supposed eat while you are in labor.

I did throw up before my second child was born,before I started pushing. I got Demerol in my IV and they say that may have been the cause.
I had forgotten about that until I read your questions. Great Question BTW!

Not common. I didn't. Ask for the epidural. It is there for a reason and it really helps. It is unnecessary pain and the babies are fine. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Don't make it a miserable experience for yourself.
