about a week before my scheduled induction i was meeting with my midwife for the last time and discussuing my induction process and diffrent options, when the medicines used for induction came up i explained to her that i was very set against using cytotec because it was not approved for induction uses by the fda and it has been reported to cause some pretty negative reactions, she told me this wasnt the case and that it had been approved and that if i wanted the other medication i would have to see if my insurance provider would even cover the it and it was 1000 dollars or more for the drug, i was upset and said i had done lots of homework on the subject and knew it wasnt approved and that it could be dangerous and with my history of having unusual reactions to medications i feared taking it...when i showed up for my induction my midwife was there and going over things with me and she all of a sudden said, id like to thank you by the way...i was a bit confussed thank me for what? she explained that she did some research after our last visit and had found out that i was in fact correct that cytotec had never been approved for that use, and because of that the hos had changed there regulations and made it so women would have to be informed that the drug was not approved for that use and offered the secondary drug!!!! YAY!
