Your daughter be in my thoughts and prayers as well. Im a NICU mom and Level III nurse myself.

Sounds like an error in levels to me too. As for mag, our hospital does not use it for PTL as the benefits do not outweigh the risks and is off label. It is widely used for preeclampsia though. I have been on mag myself and it is such an awful feeling to be on it, very scary too.

Terbutaline is tbe drug of choice and women are often discharged home on nifedipine and bedrest.

Anyhow, so glad she has lots of help and support.
