In reply to the discussion: Forced C-Section [View all]MineralMan
(146,288 posts)1. So, they did a C-section on her?
How was she forced to take Pitocin? Nobody has to take anything against their will. Your daughter was given it and then, after 5 hours of labor, they did a C-section. Is that correct? Your daughter had a C-section? Was your daughter the one in the Daily Mail story?
Were there any signs of distress for the infant? Was your daughter in any kind of physical distress? There's a lot we don't know here, really. Were you there in the hospital, or is your post based on descriptions from your daughter? I'm confused, here. Please don't be afraid to use as many words as you need to explain what happened with your daughter.
