They gave me procardia for uterine irritability. Dr will be in at noon to see me and maybe discharge me. But really? 6 inj. Lol I'm tired of the terbutaline inj.

At what point do they say ok we are not stopping your contractionS any more?

How many weeks r u? Ask them to use a bigger gauge needle and to give it slower. I get 17P every week also and this helped. They were using a smaller needle n just trying to push it threw so quickly made it hurt really bad.

The first one they gave me was awful i jumped and they used a smaller needle and I didnt feel the stick as bad but the medicine burned so bad I was squeezing a pillow.  How are things your way?
