Procardia- How long after going off did labor start?

CourtneySue · July 2012

I have been on procardia for 3 1/2 weeks & I wonder how much it really has helped or not. I go off it this week & wonder how soon you took to go into labor or if you were able to stick it out awhile. TIA!

I was induced 1 week 1 day after stopping.

My water broke about three days before I was going to stop taking it. I was on 20 mg every four hours because we were trying for any additional time we could get. GL!

I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but my contractions stopped when I came off of it. I was taken off of it at 36w and made it to my scheduled c/s at 38w.

I stopped procardia at 34 weeks. At 36 1/2 weeks, when I delivered, I had not gone into labor on my own. My dr delivered due to blood pressure.

I stopped it at 36 weeks exactly and delivered the next day. To be fair though, my doctors think my labor began before I even took the last dose (I had been having contrax every 2-8 minutes for a couple of days), so I probably would have delivered anyway.

Twelve days for me. I was also a few weeks further along than you, though. I delivered at 37w3d.

I started it at 33 weeks, I only took it for 3 days due to horrible ankle swelling. I made it to 37 weeks and 3 days when my doctor delivered due to high blood pressure.

I was having a lot of contractions anyway -- went off at 36w0d and delivered the same day. I had been on various combination of tocolytics since 22w1d.
