re: wondering if any preemie mama's tested positive...

Quoting deannwhite:“ I was on the terbutaline pump for one week. It didn't do anything to help stop my contractions. Plus if your not contracting then insurance probably won't cover one.”

Even if you are, you usually cannot get it covered because of the pills that are offered being cheaper. I had a home nurse that came to wherever I was to give me my progesterone shots, I had a home contraction monitor, and I was in the hospital almost every week because of contractions. Bastards still wouldnt cover it.

Iam not contracting. I get the prog.17 shots (at the office) and Iam on procardia. So far no contractions though.

Quoting Ryan's mom & preg.:“ What meds. did they put you on? Iam on procardia. Edited to say* what was the reason they tested you?”

I was given a high blood pressure med that started w/ an "n" b/c a side effect happens to be stopping uterine contractions. Then I was placed on IV penicillian and an oral antibiotic that started w/ a "z"...I can't remember the names! Sorry!

They tested me b/c I was cramping and had water leakage that was confirmed as amniotic fluid.

oh, ok. I have no dialation or funneling either. You were probably put on zithromax aka Z-pak. I take that once a month too. Procardia is also a blood pressure pill I take for the same reason.
Hmm, I guess iam in better shape than I thought.
