Hi Tortilla - you may remember me from way back when we both first got pregnant, our due dates are about a day apart, me with twins. Anyways, I had cramps and headed to the ER at 19 weeks only to find out I was having contractions. They gave me the shot of Terbutlane which quickly calmed everything down and they kept an eye on me for a couple hours and then released me. I saw my
OB the next day and he prescribed nifedipine on an as needed basis ... If I get cramps &/ contractions. I've used it about 4-5 times since. It does make your heart race and it gives me horrible head-aches. My
OB basically told me if I have to take it I should lay down after. He said it is completely safe though. I don't know if this helps at all, it is just my experience with the meds you've been given
