After complications delivering my placenta in my first 2 births, pitocin was a GAME CHANGER for the 3rd time. The differences with my placenta delivery as well as overall birth  recovery was almost night and day. My midwives are completely competent in administering commonly used medicines. This fundamental right goes along with their practice. To an extent, their “hands are tied” when unable to have the full scope of “tools” at their disposal. Allow them to do this!!
