It is absolutely a risk vs need thing I am just letting everyone know what is out there.

In my case I chose to stay on the terbutaline for an extra 1.5 weeks (with agreement from my doc but not truly necessary) I definately would not have made that decision being 36 weeks. Additionally since even after stopping I never went into labor on my own and was overdue with no signs of progress I will choose next time to not even bother with the terbutaline unless something progresses. I have now talked to many woman who contract all througout and never go early. These are exampels of the sorts of value based judgements that it will hopefully be useful for.

Very interesting, thanks for posting. Its def a risk/benefit situation, but for me personally its a good reminder to stay as healthy as possible while (if) I were pregnant so I don't have to rely on drugs to the best of my ability.
Its nice to finally see more studies on these everyday drugs in relation to pregnancy.

Agreed on the risk/benefit thing. I really want to know what the risk is. The article doesn't mention that. It just says there is an increased risk - how much???? Those numbers could have a big influence on that risk/benefit analysis.

The article has motivated me to get my GERD under control so at least I won't need albuterol in the middle of the night. I also sent the article to my OB and CF doctor to get their thoughts on it. I'll be providing the info in my blog once I hear back from them, if anyone is interested.
