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.
