April 3, It's the Pits

So far I've really been running off at the fingertips. I'll try to start pacing myself today.

Here is a wonderful article about (read against) overuse of Pitocin for inductions. There are a few surprises in here, and lots of information that's hard to come by elsewhere in layman's terms. It goes far beyond hard contractions and possible rupture.

Before you hear "Let's induce you with Pitocin and get this ball rolling", read this and think thrice.

Let the Baby Decide, A Case Against Inducing Labor (2001)

Again, I am not trying to scare you if you need an induction - we are just learning together while we have the luxury of time before the due date.

Enjoy! I'd like to hear your objective feedback.
