• I am so glad I ran across this group!  I have often times wondered if the Magnesium Sulfate I was on when I was pregnant w/ my ds has caused his health problems.  They had to induce my labor at 38 weeks because of pre-eclampsia.  They started me on the Mags when they started my induction, therefore, I was on it for 14 hours before I delivered him.  It made me feel horrible...worse than the pre-eclampsia itself did!  He is 9 now, but was diagnosed w/ PDD NOS (Autism) at the age of 4 1/2 y.o.  However, after he got his 4 month old shots, is when he regressed.  I knew from then on, something was not right!  Mother instinct told me so!  After he received his 4 month shots, he stopped cooing, interacting w/ dh and I :( , started having recurring ear infections, and also started having infantile spasms.  He has had 3 sets of ear tubes and his adenoids taken out, all by the tender age of 6 years old.  Sorry so long, but wanted to share our story.  I also have a 4 y.o. dd that is NT.  Married to dh for almost 13 years...the 23rd of this month.

• Hi, my name is susan, I have 3 wonderful children. During all pregnancy i was taking the terbutaline through an infusion pump. My 3 year old was diagnosed with pervasive develpmental disorder wich is an autism spectrum disorder and sensory processing disorder as well. she was diagnosed when she was 18 months.. , my 10 year old daughter has a learning disability  and dyslexia. My 5 year old son so far has been fine until this past weekend. I had taken him to see an neurologist for severe night sweats and headaches. sure enough she tested his fine motor skills and he lacks a little behind. so another chapter has opened up in my life. I often wondered if terbutaline has anything to do with my childrens delays and disorders. I thought that i was crazy. i am so happy that this group is here. I can actually meet moms who can relate...

  i  hope to make new friends.

  bye for now.

  susan....

• I took terbutaline for a short while while on bedrest for ptl.  I hated the way it made me feel so i stopped taking it.  On my own.  Against doc.  I went into real labor on my own 1 week after my "due date".  I also figured that if i felt this way on the terb...what it was doing to the baby.  Funny that you mentioned baby was really hyper b/c I feel this way about my 7 mos ds.  People say..."he's a boy" its normal.  So far though thats the only thing that has gotten my attention.  That terrible drug made me feel like I was racing and now I wonder if thats why he is racing now!  He just doesn't stop going.

  Glad there is some conversation now in this group.  Don't be shy!

• Hi!  Another new member dealing with many questions about whether terbutaline might have caused the problems my children are dealing with.  I was given terbutaline with two of my pregnancies, and both of those children have been diagnossed with a neurological condition.  My youngest does not appear to have any issues, but I did not have the medication while pregnant with him. 

  
  

  I am just so angry that I was not given all of the information available to make an educated choice.
