She had a stressful week and I think this caused her to go into labor. Contractions are 5 min. apart for 2 days now and no dialation. This morning they forced her to dialate 4 cm and broke her water for her. They gave her patossiun. What does the patossiun do? Also the baby has gone to the bathroom ( No.2 ) and I heard this could be bad for the baby if he doesn't come soon. Can anyone give me some good info on this matter?

Thanks

Pitocin strengthens the contractions..makes them more regular.

When the baby has been under stress they sometimes go to the bathroom in utero. They will suction out the babies stomach etc... very well to try and remove that from their system.

Pitocin brings on contractions. It will help her contractions become more regular and stronger which will hopefully have the baby out soon.

Congratulations :thewave:

Pitocin is administered to induce labor.

It's always bad to swallow your own pooh.

Or what they said.

Thanks everyone. I just got word she just went in for a c section. The medicine did not help her progress. I pray she and baby leo will be safe.

Thanks again

I was given pitocin after being in labor for a few hours. It slowed down my progess. :lol:

It can slow it down but it still regulates the contractions. :neener:

Sorry, another question. Does anyone know how long a c section takes?

The baby should be out within minutes. Especially an emergency C-Section. Hope all goes well!
