[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t pitocin a treatment/prevention for hemorrhage, not a cause? https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2007/0315/p875.html [/quote] I think it’s the inducing itself that increases the risk for hemorrhage, as uterus less likely to contract (which can lead to bleeding out). Risk is still less than with c-sec though. The drugs used to induce are ironically the same used to try to again induce uterus clamping down if there is excessive hemorrhaging after labor. “Pitocin®, a synthetic form of oxytocin, is commonly used in clinical practice to start (induce) and speed up (augment) labor, as well to help the uterus contract after birth in active management.” https://evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-on-pitocin-during-the-third-stage-of-labor/[/quote]
