I am 32 weeks pregnant and I have already gone into threthened preterm labor where the contractions begin, but I do not dilate.
I have done some research on the drug, and have found sites that are from other women who have used the drug and say they're babies had no problems. I have also found sites where they link this drug to autism and several other abnormalities in babies who's mothers took Terbutaline.
I have yet to find one respectable medical site that clearly states that this drug is safe to use during pregnancy. It is actually not FDA approved, however, all cases with children who have allegedly suffered because of this drug have never been noted in the medical files.
My question, does any one have input on this medication or even any experience with this medication?
This is what I was able to find, can anyone else share anything they have found on it?
I am at a point where I really feel that taking this medication is risky. Can anyone relate?

Spinal cord injuries will NEVER be cured, due to the fact that fundamental quantum mechanical principles prevent the growth of nerve cells and the transmission of nerve signals along inorganic electrical conductors. There is no way around the physics.

What would you think of a person, faced with a lifetime of quadriplegia, commits suicide?

Three days ago I smoked a little bit of weed. About 8 hits on a pipe and the day before that I smoked even less. I don't ever smoke. I haven't been drinking a lot of water or anything. My drug test is tomorrow morning. I bought some zydon ultimate 24 that was 50 bucks and is supposed to cover it up for 5 hours. Will I be ok? Any suggestions?

I don’t understand why a resident would go into the study, when a patient (or future patient I think) would go see a physician (because of it), or what it is in the medical field really.

I have erectile dysfunction for about 2 years now. viagra works very poorly, I am not anywhere near satisfied with that pump. I know there's psychiatry, a tubular implant that can be pushed and pulled into different sizes, and another implant that make your erection as big as the skin will stretch., but it stays that way even when you're asleep.That I'm not worried about. I know I cannot enter into another sexual relationship without the ability to become erect. NOTE: by scroto transplant I mean the sac, testies, and penis. I assume the surgeons can unite the vas defrens. so why not?
