I went into premature labor in 2002 with my son at 28 weeks i was dehyderated and had a bladder infection they gave me magnessium sulfate which was administerd threw my ivy and it gave me the chills and stoped my labor with in 3 hours.

BRETHINE aka terbutaline (an asthma drug)-- isnt supose to hurt the baby it is a catagory B for pregnant women, at 7.5 months they could have done bipsy to find of COD which i hope they did. i am terribly sorry about your loss but do some reserch and find out why they gave you a drug that speeds up your heart rate and the fetal heart rate and did they give you documents of the drug administerd with knowlege of what it was and possible side effects. there is a oral form and injetion form the injection form is terbutaline sulfate from what i just read. i would look into it thisit  could be a case of malpratice if he was healthy prior to the injection there should be no reason you lost him being that far along i hope some of this helped i wish you luck and god bless you and your family

I'm so sorry to hear that about your loss. It must have been absolutely devastating at 7 1/2 months. I don't really have an answer to your original question about what to do about this situation. Are you sure it was caused by the drug you were given? Either way, it's an absolute tragedy... Take care of yourself, OK?
