Providers are ordering Pitocin 81% of the time.

Pitocin is commonly used in hospitals throughout the country to augment normal labors. 81% of the women who gave birth in hospitals received Pitocin. A medical school professor stated, "If they were to put a dye in the Pitocin, you'd see it in the IV of almost every woman in this country who is in labor."

And yet Pitocin is NOT approved by the FDA for augmenting labor.
