Has anyone thought about the relationship with Induction and the use of 
Pitocin ( this particular hormone very close to the Antidiuretic hormone) 
and edema.  When I had worked as an inpatient LC we had seen many mothers 
with late onset lactogenesis and edema after many hours of induction ( 
because no-one delivers without the use of Pitocin) and the epidural.
