My daughter is 22 weeks pregnant and having premature contractions
daily. Some of it is painful and other times it's just a tightening of
the abdomen. Her cervix is thin, but not dilated. They are also
treating her for a mild bladder infection. The doctors have put her on
Brethine (oral) every four hours while she is awake. How long can she
take this drug safely and what are the effects upon the fetus? Thanks so
much in advance.
