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.
