Highlights. 1  Preterm labor occurs when uterine contractions begin to open the cervix before 37 weeks of pregnancy. 2  Terbutaline is a type of betamimetic used to stop contractions and delay the labor process. 3  Terbutaline may be effective in delaying preterm labor for several hours or days.
The suppression of contractions is often only partial and tocolytics can only be relied on to delay birth for several days. Depending on the tocolytic used the mother or fetus may require monitoring, as for instance blood pressure monitoring when nifedipine is used as it reduces blood pressure. In any case the risk of preterm labor alone justifies hospitalization.
