Hi - I had no drugs during labout, but during transition there was one stage where I felt like I was going to vomit, but I didn't. The midwife told me that nausea and vomiting was a normal part of labour which I hadn't realised before then. I tore but it wasn't big and I never felt it happen, never felt it being stitched up or while it was healing. Mind you I had some other postnatal complicatons down there so it probalby disguised the pain of the tear!
