procardia

Yesterday I was given procradia to stop contractions. I have to take it every six hours and I already hate how I feel on it. At first I felt so relaxed I could hardly keep my eyes open,  and now I have an awful headach.  I have to keep this baby in for at least 6 more weeks. I feel like this is going to be a long 6weeks for me and my family.

That sounds about right.  Ive been on it since 13/14 weeks and I'm currently 20 weeks.  I have the same symptoms very drowsy,  headaches, r a drastic drop in pressure.   Word of advice always make sure u eat something a lil high in sodium or a half of coke to minimize affects.  Don't worry you will be fine. Best wishes and Congrats!!!
