That is such a beautiful story! I'm so glad you had a wonderful surprise at birth
I do wonder, though, how your dr. was able to use Cytotek? I thought they had banned it here in the US? There were tons of lawsuits over it because women ended up with ruptured uterus and even some died Not trying to be negative about your beautiful story, but I had just always heard how dangerous it was and so was wondering why some drs are still using it...

Really?? I had never heard that, and I had no rupturing, so who knows? I did hemorrhage after the birth, but that happened to me during the birth of my first son, too, and there was no cytotech used then. And actually, they gave me a ton of cytotch afterwards to help with the bleeding, and it actually made the hemorrhaging stop.

I live in the middle of nowhere, but they do have really good medical care here, so I am not sure why the Dr was able to use a drug that is questionable.

Looked it up again, and I guess it's only banned in certain hospitals.

It's really an anti-ulcer drug and in some women (no one knows if they will be one of them) it causes contractions so hard that it causes the uterus to rupture, which is why I guess some hospitals won't allow it anymore. Thankful you didn't have any problems! It's prob ok for most people, but because of the possibility, is why that started going around about it I guess.

That is scary! I read the article, and I have to say, if I had known any of that before, I would have probably asked my doctor to use something else. Thank goodness nothing bad happened.
