Pitocin is one of the most commonly used medications in childbirth, but is it being overused? In this episode, we take a closer look at how Pitocin is used in modern birth, especially for inducing and augmenting labor.


We’ll explore:

•The risks and benefits of Pitocin use in birth.

•How it impacts your contractions—and your overall labor experience.

•Whether it’s truly necessary in all the cases it’s used, or if it’s become more of a routine intervention.


Backed by evidence-based research and real-world examples, this episode will give you the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about Pitocin in your own birth journey.


Tune in to learn what no one’s telling you about this powerful medication and why understanding your options matters more than ever.
