What does spinal block combined with morphine do to me?

The first night after delivery I was dizzy and constantly felt like vomitting. Then I remembered that was how I felt with Aliah after her delivery, too.

At one point I almost vomitted or just the feeling of wanting to vomit and quickly pressed the button near my bed to call the nurse. She brought me the kidney shaped dish by the bed so that I can throw my guts out but nothing came out. Of course, the last meal was at 6am that morning, what could possibly come out?

I was given more medicine that night to contain the side effects of morphine and truth be told, I was in and out of sleep that night, envious of MrM who seems unaffected by the hard sofa in the room and slept very soundly.

That was precisely the reason I insisted on MrM to sleep in the hospital room the first night remembering how I felt alone after Aliah's delivery.

This time he indulged my request.
