A: in case of drizzle.

excerpt from "ina may's guide to childbirth" by ina may gaskin:

pitocin induction is more apt than a spontaneous labor to result in vacuum-extractor or forceps delivery or a cesarean section because of fetal distress stemming from too stong uterine contractions. oxytocin doubles the odds of the baby being born in poor condition because fo the extra-hard contractions it can cause interfere with the flow of oxygen-rich blood from the mother to baby. another hazard of oxytocin induction is an increased incidence of postpartum hemorrhage [...]there is a much higher incidence of uterine rupture in chemically induced labors than in spontaneous labors.


wow, funny how my ob neglected to inform me any of this before i was induced...informed consent my ass.
