My second son was born in 1977. My labor was induced with Pitocin. Back then, no one had even heard of ADD. When ADD was suddenly brought to the world's attension, I knew, THAT is what my son had. It described him perfectly. After his birth, I hemmorhaged for weeks. My sweet baby was had severe jaundice. BOTH are linked to Pitocin, along with ADD and Autism. My son struggled with school. He felt as if he was stupid. When teenage years came around, he got into so much trouble. I knew nothing of ADD. But common sence told me to encourage him to use his "excess amount of energy" on constructive things. By the time he was 16, he quit school and went to work full time. He is 24 now, married, and his first child on the way. I am so very proud of him! But it sure does infuriate me when I think about how all of that "bad stuff" could have been avoided. That birth experience was SO BAD, that I had my two daughter's at home with a mid wife. They were the perfect births. :)
