[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had two pitocin inductions (preeclampsia both times) and so definitely needed an epidural both times as well. Almost impossible to do pitocin without epi. The epidural led to fluid intake both times for my kids that led to not meeting weight gain goals in first 24 hrs, extra hospital time, breastfeeding issues. Also I’ve since read [b]that pitocin is a significant predictor of ADHD [/b]which my kids are at risk for already. So I see really valid reasons to attempt unmedicated and say more power to those who do. I am not sure people understand these factors when they say unmedicated people are just being sanctimonious.[/quote]

Do you not understand what pitocin is?[/quote]

I definitely do. However, I don’t think it’s common knowledge that pitocin at birth has such a strong connection to adhd diagnoses later. This is not usually discussed. If others were told this by their OB then feel free to share that.[/quote]

Interesting.  I have two kids.  First kid I did not receive any pitocin, second I did.  First has adhd, second does not.[/quote]

It may be interesting, but it is not true. [/quote]
