Reply to Deborah's Post: my dr. wants to induce me because i have had a history of pre-term labor/birth my son was born 6 weeks early. but this time i am having a very hard time dealing with the uncomfort of being pregnant and dealing with my son (he's 2yrs old)
and ive heard pitocin can cause seizures and high
blood pressure(pre-eclamp). ive done alot of research on castor oil but i wanted to ask a medical opinion before i used it. i would ask my dr. but of course she'll tell me no because she wants to medicaly induce. please give me a human answer not a dr. answer if you know what i mean. i understand that dr's would rather use medical induction methods but i would rather try somthing else first.please help.
