No More Terbutaline!

Friday was not the best day. I had taken my terbutaline pill at 8 that morning and then again at about 1. I was prescribed the smallest dose possible and told I could take it every 4 hours as needed. I spent the afternoon feeling like I couldn't catch my breath and felt like my heart was pounding. When Court came to pick me up we decided to check my pulse with my moms blood pressure machine. It was 7 at night and my pulse was up to 120. The nurse at Labor and Delivery told us if it got that high to come in so we headed off to the hospital. By the time I was in the bed and hooked up to the machines my pulse was 140! Pretty scary! They decided to give me a shot of morphine to calm my contractions and bring my heartrate down. Luckily it worked and they let me go home. So no more Terbutaline for me! I hated the way it made me feel so I am glad I don't have to take it anymore. My mom thought we needed pictures of all these events so I guess I will post them.




I was so hot my mom was trying to fan me with some paper from her purse.


I don't know if Court is more sick of this place or me...

I couldn't walk from the morphine shot so Court wheeled me out.
