Do you think that when your pregnant and your doctor has to stop labor with a certain kind of shot then pill that after your baby is born they could die of SIDS? How many women have had their labor stopped by a shot and then have had to take pills to keep from going into labor and after their baby was born SIDS happened?
I'm a mother who recently had a baby about three months ago and they stopped my labor .I was wondering if this could be related?

They say the baby is healthy so wouldn't you think this is something that could have an affect on the baby and the doctors not know?

no she is not dead but I want to know if this has anything to do with it, or if you think it could?

I think the only things that have been connected with SIDS are:
1) Sleeping position (back is best)
2) Breastfeeding (seems to dramatically lower risk.)
I don't know of any other things that affect it

Thank goodness your baby is OK, I thought by your question that he/she had died!
Usually people have a different OB/GYN than their pediatrician. Find a good pediatrician and when you bring your baby in ask this question!

I did have to have a shot to stop labor, but I did not have to take the pills because they only wanted to hold it off for a few more weeks and the shot seemed to do the trick. Well, it sure did as he was 10 days overdue. He is now 8 years old and never had any apnea or anything remotely related to SIDS episodes. They just don't know what causes SIDS and it is a baffling, scary thing that all us mothers (and fathers) fear. I still check on him during the night as well as my 10 moth old daughter.

In addition to sleeping position and breastfeeding, the other known factor in many SIDS deaths is a household with a smoker/secondhand smoke.
I am not aware of any connection between type of labor/drugs involved with labor and SIDS outcomes.

I work at a Daycare, but right now I am on maturity leave because im 34 wks preg. But there was a woman that had 2 of her sons there that was preg. with her 3rd and had to get that shot. She said she wasn't going to take the pills because it just didnt sound natural, and she didnt but even though she got the shot her baby was just a fine healthy baby boy.
SIDS- Is just basically related to sleeping.

Just keep your baby on its back. I heard the pacifiers reduce the risk of SIDS. Also they have a pad that the baby sleeps on now that alerts the parents when the baby stops breathing but I am not sure where or how to find it or the name of it.

confused, did you already lose your baby to SIDS? if so, i'm sorry. I assume you are talking about magnesium sulfate or something similar? i've never ever heard of it having any relation to SIDS.. was your baby born premature? Premature babies have a higher risk of SIDS to begin with. You might just be looking for a "reason" , but SIDS has no reason.

I thought I just read somewhere there's a certain genetic profile that is consistant with SID?

I went into labor at 32 weeks and they gave me a shot and some kinda medicine to stop my contractions. Then I went into labor at 34 1/2 weeks and they gave me the shot then but it didnt do any good I had my son that day and he was born premature BUT he is healthy besides the fact that he had seizures at 13 months and 22 months. He is perfectly fine. So I dunno it could be related to health issues but I dunno for sure. I wish I could help you more!

I don't think there is any connection between the two. If you are concerned, then go to another pediatrician and get a second opinion!
