152 | Pitocin almost always leads to an epidural
Update: 2024-06-10
Description
Saying yes to an induction, or pitocin, is like saying yes to an epidural. Once you start pitocin your birth is medicalized and that includes a higher chance of wanting the epidural.
In this episode, I discuss:
- How pitocin and oxytocin are the same chemical compound but work very very differently in or bodies.
- If you had pitocin in the past and it felt like your birth was out of control, it was. Pitocin means your birth is being control outside your body.
- Starting pitocin can mean that your coping skills are less accessible which can lead to an unwanted epidural.
