Does it affect the fetus?

Oxytocin refers to oxytocin, a uterine contraction agent used to induce labor, induce labor and prevent postpartum bleeding, which excites the smooth muscle of the uterus and stimulates uterine contraction, so normal use will not affect the fetus. However, if used in excess, it may have some effect on the fetus. If the pregnancy is more than 42 weeks, it is called overdue pregnancy, at this time the pregnant woman is prone to placental hypofunction and fetal death in the uterus, in order to avoid the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes, oxytocin can be used at this time to promote the uterus to launch normal contractions, generally within 24 hours after the injection can be delivered. However, the maternal use of oxytocin may be infused too fast, so that the drug absorbed too much, thus causing tonic spasmodic contractions of the uterus, which may cause acute hypoxia or even asphyxia of the fetus. The oxytocic injection simulates the contractions of natural delivery to the maximum extent, which is relatively safe, and it is only given when necessary, provided that it is full term, the cervix is mature, the fetus is not hypoxic and the fetal position is correct, etc. Therefore, you should follow the doctor’s advice and decide whether to use the oxytocic injection.
