During the birthing process, excessive use of Pitocin can be dangerous.

Pitocin is the synthetic form of Oxytocin which is a natural hormone produced by a woman?s body that causes uterine contractions and is used during the birthing process to induce contractions.

Pitocin induces the force of contractions in which a decrease in uterine blood flow occurs resulting in a reduction of oxygen to the baby.

When Pitocin is used, electronic fetal monitoring is a must because fetal distress is more common with pitocin use and needs to be detected if it occurs.

The risks involved with the use of Pitocin, include rupture of the uterus, water intoxication, increased discomfort and fetal stress.

Pitocin can present other hazards including tumultuous labor, which may cause premature separation of the placenta, laceration of the cervix or post birth hemorrhage.

Fetal asphyxia and neonatal hypoxia can result from too frequent and prolonged uterine contractions.
