I knew I might throw up, and even though I hardly ever do in the rest of my life, I had a feeling I might during labor. Eric, however, didn't know that was a possibility, and he was a little freaked out by it at first. The nurse kept telling us "this is normal," and talking me through other difficult moments. That helped a lot.
I won't blame anyone for choosing to medicate during labor and delivery, everyone's experience is pretty different it seems. But I had hoped not to, so I'm really glad I didn't.
