Jen and Bethany continue their deep dive into the medications commonly given during and after a C-section. From Pitocin to Toradol, they break down what each drug is for, how it's administered, potential side effects, and what moms need to know, especially when it comes to bleeding, pain management, and breastfeeding.

They cover:

  • Uterotonic meds like Pitocin, Methergine, Hemabate, and Cytotec

  • Pain relief options including Toradol

  • The evolving conversation around medications and breastfeeding

  • Why communication between providers and patients matters more than ever

  • A bonus holistic tip for staying cool during summer pregnancies

Whether you're prepping for a C-section or still processing one, this episode helps demystify what’s in your IV (and why it matters).
