Premature Labor
Terbutaline is sometimes prescribed for preterm labor and, according to literature, causes LOTS of developmental problems.
This testimony is encouraging:
In 1992, I was one of the foolish mom's that took Terbutaline. in 1992. I started preterm labor at 25 weeks. My son (5 weeks premature) has Asperger's. He had a low Apgar, spinal tap, IV antibiotics, NICU. The antibiotics sterilized his gut and messed him up + Thimerosol doses upped in '92. He was mostly healed with biomedical and nutrition. I found out for my next pregnancy that Magnesium worked instead of Terbutaline. I carried a bottle of it with me and ate it like candy. Now, I recommend the liquid by Bluebonnet or Lifeline. I still had contractions, but I went beyond full term. This was so much better than Terbutaline!!!!!!

Lavender Essential Oil for Premature Labor Testimony
I have used Lavender for years to soothe monthly cramps with great success, so when I went into premature labor with contractions and bleeding at 16 weeks, I immediately reached for my Lavender.
I mixed a few drops of Lavender in about a teaspoon of virgin coconut oil and applied it directly on my abdomen. I prayed for the Lord to use His oil to stop the contractions. The first application seemed to have no effect, so after an hour, I did it again, and the bleeding and contractions slowed way down. I kept doing it through the day and a few times in the night. Within 24 hours the bleeding and contractions had completely stopped.
I continued using Lavender on my belly morning and evening. Not only was this soothing and relaxing for me, my OB was still very concerned about a premature birth. Many prayers were said on my behalf, and I was careful to hang out on the couch or recliner for about a month, but I never had another problem with premature labor or bleeding. Our sweet little daughter was born right on time, and she's the calmest baby I've had yet. I have to wonder if all that Lavender had some calming affect on her as well as me. Another bonus to my daily massages with Lavender and the coconut oil is that I can't find a single stretch mark.
