Hi there!

In that post I’m talking about concerns many people don’t hear about when Pitocin is used in labor. Pitocin makes contractions stronger and closer together, which can sometimes:

  • Put extra stress on the baby (changes in heart rate, less oxygen)
  • Increase pain intensity for the mother
  • Raise the chance of needing more interventions (like epidural, forceps, vacuum, or cesarean)
  • Lead to very long, exhausting labors if the body isn’t ready

Is there a particular risk you’d like me to go deeper into?
