Catherine,
Yay! That was my whole point! The reason that pitocin cannot be used as an
abortifacient is because IT DOESN'T WORK! for all the reasons you cited.
The uterus is simply not receptive to it early on in the pregnancy.
Therefore, why does "everyone" get hung up about bf during pregnancy??? (You
know who I mean about "everyone".) It is going to take an awful lot more
than bf to dislodge an implanted baby. One of my major frustrations is that
when it comes to bf, "people" don't THINK! Now, I don't assume that people
with a non-medical background should know. But I DO trust that people with a
medical background would have the sense to put it together and not "just say
no" on general principal. (Whoever General Principal is). Sigh.
