A member asked:
I was wondering what are the effects on a mother and baby when treated for preterm labor with terbutaline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rapid heart rate: Mom may experience a rapid heart beat which may cause changes in the baby 's heart rate as well. That is the most common change and is short lived if the medication is not continued.
