A baby  with an abnormal body flexion will not traverse the
birth canal as easily,  and we simply don't know whether this plays a  role.



Dear Friends:
    Thank you Rachel, for an informative post.
    In the US, induction is skyrocketing. Nothing like  heavy doses of 
Pitocin and misoprostol to put abnormal body tension in a baby.  Tension is 
different than flexion; however, I imagine that induction would  create abnormal body 
reaction in the baby. Remember the drugs going into a  mother will also go 
into the baby. What impact does misoprostol or synthetic  oxytocin have on the 
ioatrogenically premature body?
    warmly,
