Pitocin is a synthetic version of naturally produced ‘love’ hormone oxytocin used to begin or speed up birthing. Rather than intervene you can choose to first evaluate the environment. Do I feel safe, secure, and supported? Do I need rest?
➜ Mimicking the environment in which babies were made to the birthing space can help birth moving forward at the pace needed.
➜You are able to listen to your body when you and baby are well and use the time to rest if needed rather than the use of medical pain management.
➜ Natural pressure waves are manageable rather than having to manage the often longer, stronger waves experienced with the use of Pitocin.
