I had preterm contractions at 22 weeks and they gave me a shot of morphine in my butt to stop them. It worked, but it hurt like crazy.
I had the shots with my second baby. I had contractions, but wasn't dialated. They sent me home. 3 hrs later the contractions were so bad, I went back to the hospital. They said I was dialated to 8 centimeters and delivered my baby 30 mins after.
I've had to hVe my labor stopped twice last week I am 35 w 5 days and doctor says if I go into labor again after 36 w he won't stop labor again.
Is this your first baby ??
I got two shots. Hurt like hot spicy molasses. Some medicine that started with a "T". I was at 32 weeks, and it helped... im now at 35 weeks and havent had any more contractions. Ive been on bed rest too, seemed to help.
