What to do if i had an amniocentesis and afterward was given a shot to help prevent contractions. what was this shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Terbutaline?: It was probably Terbutaline. An injection of Terbutaline is frequently used to prevent or to stop contractions. It sometimes makes you jittery and your heart race. Best wishes!
