I was also unaware that during a csection they give you a dose of pitocin(sp?) to get the uterus to…

I am officially done reading ur posts for the rest of my pregnancy 😂😂😂

I didn’t get it with mine? Unless I did and just didn’t know it lol

@myriahboyett710, I think they disclose it in paper work never really talk about it out loud though it’s like part of the procedure

It makes sense because surely it would be worse if they just yanked the placenta out? Unless that is what they do? Idk now I'm curious as to how they remove the placenta in a c section. 😂

@alyboo102293 I never got an IV just an epidural so unless they put it in there they never did with me.

@sleepymommy, they didn’t have you on a IV during a major surgery? Typically it’s a spinal block not a epi though because if something goes wrong they would have to knock you out real quick but they always push anxiety type meds during surgery to keep heart rate level. I didn’t know they let people go back without one that’s new.

@leahkay, lol I’ve been watching medical videos on c section procedures and they all mention it along with reaching their hands in and massaging it out 😂 which yeah makes sense now.

@alyboo102293 I don't remember one being put in or taken out. They did the back thing laid me back then the catheter my boyfriend came in the did the c section then back to my room

@sleepymommy, that’s crazy, I’ve had one everytime with each c section that’s how they give me the good stuff when I’m laying there having a damn panic attack 😂.

@alyboo102293 oh see I was super calm and just going with the flow. I mean they could have but I don't even remember having an IV not before and not after after I got I dose of pain medication but in pill form

Pitocin is given to 95% of women who birth in the hospital regardless of the mode of delivery. It’s a serious problem.

@squishymommy1, I learn something new everyday, that explains why the cramps/contractions are so bad after delivery.

I've had 3 C-sections and I never knew that! I healed very quickly after them all and never had any problems. Never took pain meds for it either once I got out of the hospital.

@squishymommy1 it really is. I was almost given it with my last baby for absolutely no reason. I was being induced with cytotec because I was already having contractions I just wasn't dilating. A nurse almost gave me pitocin because she thought I stopped having contractions. I told her I was certain I was and she shrugged me off and said no they stopped but she'd wait a little. Another nurse came in and noticed my stomach monitor had moved and she adjusted it. I was indeed having very strong contractions. Luckily the second nurse told the other one and I was thankfully never given pitocin. Still pisses me off to this day. My labor would have been hell if I was given it.
