What's important is that oxytocin is actually used to help with delivery. Those of you that are female that had a baby probably been induced with pitocin. I had pitocin when I had my first baby. In fact, I think I had both of my kids. Help the uterus contract to push the baby out. Oftentimes, the OB will give you an IV pitocin to induce labor.
