Is it normal to have a lot of nausea during labor?

Answer by  WranglerMama (289)

Yes. Nausea is often a sign that labor is progressing normally. Vomiting can actually help increase dilation. Just make sure to keep up fluid intake so you don't get dehydrated.

It is normal to have a light to severe case of nausea and vomiting during various stages of labor. The nausea is due to the body reacting to the pain and all of the other changes within. Although nausea is normal, it does not play a role with everyone who is in labor.
