aromatherapy during labor?

Hey ladies! Anyone planning or had experience with aromatherapy during labor? I'm planning to go natural & have heard sometimes the hormones can make you nauseated. Looking to alleviate the nasties with some essential oil blend. Thanks for any insight.

    Our hospital uses lavender for relaxation and ginger for nausea. We also have accupuncture, massage and whirlpool tubs. :) All big changes just since I gave birth 2 years ago; I'm excited to be able to use all of that.

    I was occasionally nauseated during labor, and vomited a couple of times. I held a cut lemon in my fist and when I felt icky, I breathed in the scent. It was great and I'll be sure to keep lemons at the ready for this labor, too.

    I love the ginger idea--I didn't try that but I bet those chewy ginger candies would be awesome!
