My wife and I have just moved to france,
and our command of french is not yet very
good. She is pregnant (34 weeks) and for
2 nights this week she experienced some
early contractions; each episode lasted
for 1.5 hours with minor to medium
contractions ranging from 8-10 minutes
apart. Her uterus would contract and the
baby would slide up to escape the
squeezes.
Our doctor has prescribed spasfon
(phloroglucinol / trimethylphloroglucinol)
to control these episodes for another 2-4
weeks. However, we've read that these
spasm drugs can be dangerous for the baby,
and we think we've noticed a decrease in
the baby's activity over the last 24
hours.
Is this drug safe for the baby?
Thank you very much,
greg t.

Hi greg, don't worry, most pregnant women
take spasfon in the first and third
trimester to limit miscarriages and
premature childbirth...I haven't heard
from anybody that spasfon is dangerous for
the baby...Babies are like baby kittens,
the move a lot every second day ...All
should be fine
good luck for your little one :wink:

Early Contractions I Didn't Know That I Had... Posted: 04-30-07 11:29am
I'm also looking for information on
Spasfon, and can't seem to find much. I'm
in my 33 week of pregnancy and have been
prescribed Spasfon for contractions that I
didn't know that I had? I'd be very keen
to hear an educated opinion on whether
taking this is a necessity or not?
