Sorry Delphmoon, I have only just read the whole thread, and whilst the purpose of my post above was to try to encourage you to have faith in your body, it may not have been much help. Had you dilated at all before recieving oxytoxin? Were you feeling fearful or anxious, or do you feel you were in a good place within yourself? Was oxytocin started because there were concerns about your or or baby? Sorry for the 100 questions, I am just trying to get more of an idea of your personal circumstance so I can endeavour to find out some more info for you, so if there is anything you can think of that you feel may be relevant let me know. There are so many variables. Perhaps it's normal for you to have a long pre/early labour. Perhaps it had something to do with baby's position. Or perhaps augmentation is completely justified for a reason which may or may not be related to your size. Big hugs, if there is any relevant info I can find I will post it. PS: please don't lose faith though
