Pitocin is not inherently bad on its own, it has been used to save many lives of birthing mothers, but when there’s no informed consent, then how are you able to make the best decision for yourself?
➡️Did you know that Pitocin is NOT approved for non-medical inductions of labor, due to the risks associated? 
➡️Medical inductions of labor would be situations such as:
Cholestasis
Elevated liver enzymes
Uncontrolled gestational diabetes
And other medically necessary situations…
➡️In the case of preeclampsia, where blood pressure isn’t able to be managed by diet change and supplements, then cesarean would be the safest option for delivery, as Pitocin increases BP and creates a risk for both mom and baby.
➡️Did you know that if you’ve had a previous C-section or any surgery on your cervix, you are CONTRAINDICATED to receive Pitocin?
You increase the risk of uterine rupture and postpartum hemorrhage exponentially! (VBAC mamas, take note!)
➡️Did you know there are serious risks to your baby too?
Please, mamas, for your health and safety, and for the health and safety of your babies, learn more about Pitocin and the risks associated with an unnecessary induction!
➡️And just to add, this is not fear mongering. This is education. We are severely lacking in birth education and it’s important that we become aware for ourselves, for our children and for future generations, so we can make the best decisions for OURSELVES!
➡️Pitocin has saved the lives of many postpartum hemorrhaging mothers, and I’ve personally witnessed this, so I don’t believe it is an evil or bad tool on its own, you just need to know what you’re saying “YES” to!
