I was told that while they'll turn Pitocin down they'll never turn it off completely just bc what if they do and then labor stalls? With my first induction they turned down the Pitocin when my contractions were on top of each other early in the process, later on we were told (I was in transition and didn't realize it) that was typical at that point of labor

I wasn't induced but they thought I wasn't progressing enough so they added a little pitocin and then I later had them stop it.

My water broke on its own but labor wasn't progressing so they gave me some pitocin but after a few hours the nurses stopped the drip at the dr's suggestion. So it can happen!

I had them take it out during transition because I wanted to be in the bathroom and didn't want to take it with me. No problem birthing the baby but did hemorrhage and couldn't get the pit in to stop it because the iv had some issues after stopping.

My body took over contractions and the pitocin wAs turned off at that point. The events following that we're unpredictable. I labored on my own for hours after that and could never vaginally deliver my son so ended with a c section.

My dr said we'd see how I was responding in regards to the pitocin, and said I may not need it past a certain point, but once I got an epidural, it didn't matter since I couldn't feel it.

I had a few doses of cytotec, and then pitocin. After all afternoon on pitocin with nothing happening, they turned it off at about 10pm so I could sleep and decided to decide in the morning about a c-section (this was day 3 of labor, day 2 of an induction for low amniotic fluid). Labor kicked in full force at 1 am, three hours after the pitocin was turned off!
