Jan, thank you for pointing this out....I know it isn't yet evidence-based,
but in years of hospital practice this is in fact my experience- the Pit
makes a big difference.... I would love to study this and have talked about
it with various peers, local docs, etc- ....measuring outcomes seems to be
the most difficult variable for me.

"But did she look at the correlation between lots of Pitocin & lots of IV
fluids -- or just the IV fluids.  I imagine a healthy young woman without
Pitocin on board (which is an antidiuretic and will HOLD fluid in her system
and that of the baby) could process the IV fluids.  But I would question
whether or not she would be able to with Pitocin as a compounding factor."
