I had to have a c-section that I belive was caused by pictocin. I was progressing fine until they started the pic,then I dilated from 5 to 9 cm in 30 minutes. The dr. said I'd have him any minute, but then the baby wouldn't drop and his heart rate dipped off the screen. The dr. said it was equivallent to him holding his breath for 5 minutes. Half an hour later, he said they would have to do a c-section. My first child was born naturally and I had no problem delivering him. I thank God for my healthy, beautiful baby boy, but cannot get over the anger of having major surgery due to a drug that wasn't necessary and that I did not agree to have nor did I request it. By the way, my son was born June 18, 2002.
