    In 2004 pitocin was used to speed delivery. Immediately, my legs burned with pain. I had to get an epidural to bear it. My legs swelled the next day and I had to wear air pressure cuff on my legs for two days while in the hospital.

    In 2006, again pitocin was used. There was some pressure in my legs, and a high sense of anxiety or aggitation was felt immediately. Within 2 hours, my baby’s heart rate went to 80 and he was at the birth canal with me not being dialated properly. I had to have an emergency c-section. Luckily I had insisted on an epidural early. It took 2 days of recovery. My legs had swelled but no air cuffs were administered
