I can speak from personal experience that, no I didn't choke, but I felt like I was sufficating. I had some of my meal come back up and then the contractions started and I literally couldn't breathe. This has happened to me twice in the last month. I literally threw up through my nostrils. I was VERY SCARY. So choking? Maybe not, but you can have complications if you vomit and things don't easily vacate. Just my experience. Also, I do believe that I am too tight. I need an unfill - ASAP!
