I vomitted in transition with both Olivia and Charlie, but to be honest, it was a good thing in both cases!! With Olivia, my OB popped into see me, and looked at the CTG machine read out and said "This baby won't come till tomorrow, these are just niggly little contractions" and then I vomitted on his shoes and so his attitude changed, he did an internal and I was 9cm and Olivia was born aboiut 20 minutes later! (No drugs, no tearing)

With Charlie, I was induced, and the gels they used made me vomit. I then vomitted again in transition, but again, it was good, as I knew I was close and they tried to get me onto the bed but becasue I recognised the feeling I knew to stay standing and Charlie was born about 5 mins later, whilst I was still standing up, which is what I really wanted. Again, no tearing.

With Lexie, she was born so fast, I had no time to vomit, but I did feel as if I could/would like to vomit, but she was born so quickly, and my breathing was so deep, I think that warded the spew off.......(and again, so teearing.)

(They do say that if you really regulate your breathing and are breathing really deeply and are focused on your breathing that the intake and concentration of oxygen in your blood can ward off vomitting.......)
