Terbutaline, med. used to stopped contractions? PLEASE HELP!!?

I am 32 weeks pregnant and I have already gone into threthened preterm labor where the contractions begin, but I do not dilate.
I have done some research on the drug, and have found sites that are from other women who have used the drug and say they're babies had no problems. I have also found sites where they link this drug to autism and several other abnormalities in babies who's mothers took Terbutaline.
I have yet to find one respectable medical site that clearly states that this drug is safe to use during pregnancy. It is actually not FDA approved, however, all cases with children who have allegedly suffered because of this drug have never been noted in the medical files.
My question, does any one have input on this medication or even any experience with this medication?
This is what I was able to find, can anyone else share anything they have found on it?
I am at a point where I really feel that taking this medication is risky. Can anyone relate?

Hi. I had to start on Terbuline/Brethine pill's with my last pregnancy at around 30 weeks. I had to take them every 4 hours! I too was having contractions that were not dilating my cervix but they still insisted I take them. They also put me on Procardia. I also had to go get IV fluids around once a week.

I got very shakey from taking the terbuline. I think it is actually a breathing medication for asthmatic patients and people with breathing problems but it is said that it helps slow or stop contractions.

My baby was born very healthy! However he does infact have a developmental delay. My first child who I didn't have to take any medication with was born with no problems. Yet my second is a little delayed. He started in Physical therapy, speech therapy and developmantal intervention therapy at around 20 months old. He is now almost 4 yrs. and is almost 100% up to date on all his milestones now. The therapy helped a bunch. But we still don't know what caused this. Maybe there was a link to the terbuline.

I told my OBGYN that I did NOT want to take the teruline because it was not FDA approved and he flipped out on me and told me to find another OB. So I took it. But I only took it when the contractions got bad.

I know it is a hard thing to go thru. I wish you the best and hope your baby is healthy & happy!
