I took Terbutaline from 20 weeks, every four hours, until 37 weeks. I had no problems on it. When you quit taking it though, you will get "rebound" contractions. These can turn into real contractions or just Braxton Hicks.
Thank u for ur information.. I hope that I can make it till full term.. I have five more weeks till 37 weeks.. oh my goodness, thats just around the corner..lol
I used terbutaline for preterm labor. I didn't have any problems with it. I used it from 27 wks until my water broke at 37 wks.
Did u have a hard labor with ur first? Did u make it till full term?
This pill knocks me out!!
I was on it for both my boys, with my oldest I went into PTL at 26 weeks and terb in conjunction with bedrest kept him in. I was also given a few doses with my other son due to "false labor" which entailed months of wicked painful contractions w/ no cervical change. I am a big fan of it because it didn't knock me on my tush like mag did.

There seems to be a bit of controversy with the use of this drug in pregnant women. To educate yourself further, check out this website...it should answer most of your questions.
