Quick update on the meds

For those of you doctors out there...the name of the drug to stop the contractions is nifedapine and the steroids are betamethizone. These may or may not be spelled right, but I am trying to be detail-oriented in the blog. Other than a very uncomfortable bed, Jen is doing ok and the contractions have gone away for now. Yay!

Hi Dave...Alyssa Hinkel-Tauber here again....congrats on your & Jen's baby to be! Ironically, I am an OB/GYN nurse. You were close on your spelling... Betamethasone is the name of the steroid given to help mature the baby's lungs.
