We are kicking off this first episode discussing Pitocin and how that affects Mothers and babies during labor, birth, and even afterwards. Often when Pitocin is administered to induce or augment labor, women are not fully informed on the risks associated.
In this first episode, we cover:
• how oxytocin and pitocin relate to one another
• the difference between pitocin and oxytocin
• the relationship between oxytocin and adrenaline
• the affects of pitocin on a laboring uterus
•the affects of pitocin on a baby during labor
• the affects of pitocin after birth
• the relationship between pitocin and postpartum hemorrhage
• the affects of pitocin on lactation and nursing
Somehow all other mammal species birth babies every single day without the use of Pitocin. Humans are mammal and we are designed to birth as mammals.
