Preterm labor/procardia

Ashlea • Sat, Jun 11 • Wife to David, mommy to Jensen, and due with #2 Eveylnn Lilith August 7th 2016.

So I went into labor Thursday at 31.4 weeks. Got it stopped after 4 hours. I'm lucky because my doctors nurse is also my aunt(second mom) and she said to lay my butt down and keep her in 2 more weeks and they won't stop labor. So I'm officially on bed rest for the next 2 weeks, with a toddler. Oh I have no idea how I'm gonna do this.

Has anyone been put on procardia for preterm labor? That's the next step if it starts back up before 34 weeks.

It made me quezzy but it's better than the shot of turbutaline not sure if that's how you spell it. They took me off at 35 weeks 6 days and I went into labor at 36 weeks exactly. Usually they will do all they can to stop labor until 36 weeks.

Any horrible side effects? And when did they take you off, or plan to?
