"Pitocin Gave My Daughter Brain Damage": The Risks Moms Should Know | Katie Spinks

Half of American moms get Pitocin in labor — but many are never told the real risks ⚠️

In this episode, we share Katie Spinks’ story and the conversation many women say they wish they had before being induced. While Pitocin can be lifesaving, it can also intensify contractions, reduce oxygen to a baby, and in rare cases lead to devastating outcomes. We’re unpacking what happens when an “elective induction” turns into a cascade of interventions — and why informed consent in birth matters.
