Where did you read this information about Pitocin? I also had it with my autistic son. I had it for about 7 hours or so. I would love to read this. I knew a lot of woman had Pitocin on this list, but I didn't know there was something actually written that it can cause autism. Can you email me privately, thanks in advance. casti71@...

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 --, I had pitocin during my sons birth to induce a slow labor. I do not blame myself, theres only so much we can know, and we have trusted the medical profession.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 Hi all, Alt.support.autism newsgroup had a good discussion about this about a year ago. We even had our own unscientific survey. The result of the discussion is that there didn't seem to be a definite pattern. The role of vaccinations seem to have more of a pattern than pitocin. And the doctor that rushed your delivery because he wanted to be somewhere else? I wouldn't put that to the pitocin per se, I would put the burden on the doctor for not putting your delivery first like you hired him to.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 Yes, I did. Thank god when I was induced with my daughter my doctor chose a new way. It was a pill that was inserted directly into the vagina. It was much more like real labor. Anyone pregnant on the list, use this if induction is necessary. Sorry I can't remember what the name of the drug was. a > Just clicked and read the pitocin lawsuit information. I recieved > VERY high dose of this drug during childbirth.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 Hi all, I received Pitocin with my first child, who interestingly enough is my NT (or as close as it comes) child. My baby, Graham, was a scheduled C-section, was full term, but did receive the Hep B vax when he was one day old...if I'd have known then what I know now.
