Nausea help!

J <3 D

Hi Ladies I was a hypnobabies mama my first go around and had a very difficult time with Nausea in labor. I literally threw up with every "pressure wave". Any suggestions for the next go around? It is hard to be calm and relaxed with all the vomiting. Thanks for your input!

Make sure your sugars don't get low (bring honey sticks and coconut water) 

Buy "sea bands" to put pressure on the acupressure spot P6.

Also lemon essential oil and peppermint oil are good for quelling nausea.

That was my first delivery. Puked with every contraction. Made it pretty impossible to relax. And I got a little hysterical. For my next two deliveries I asked for Reglan at the first sign of nausea and it really really helped. I had much better birth experiences. I didn't gag until I was ready to deliver. I'm a huge natural fan but i thought it was more important for me to be function than to fuss over taking something for the extreme nausea.
