Turning off Terbutaline Tomorrow!

My OB said that I can turn off the terb tomorrow (at 36 Weeks). I've been on it for 10 long weeks and I can't wait to unattach myself from this pump!

If anyone else was on this, when did your contractions start back up after turning it off?

 

:banana: Yay!!! :banana: Congratulations! A lot of times, PTL sufferers have to be induced, or go to their c-section date...

 

Congratuations! I was on terb. orally, as needed. I ended up taking about 2 pills during the day and as much as I tried not to I eventually needed one at nighttime. I still had breakthrough while on the terb. but nothing that ever changed my cervix. I think she had me stop the terb. at 35 weeks and I am 38 wks 4 days with a scheduled c-section tomorrow. I still have a billion of contrax. everyday but no labor. At my last appt., a week ago, I was starting to efface and was fingertip dialated.

Enjoy being pump free!

YAY for no pump!
I ripped mine out(with permission, of course) on Monday at 5am & my water broke Tuesday at 6:50am! My babies were born at 10:31am & 10:32am.
Good luck,

 

Great job Momma! I went one week after I stopped taking the meds.
