girl asked:

I notice my fetal movement (24 weeks and 1 day) is very less compared to what i felt in the last few weeks. I am put on nifedipine (Procardia) to stop contractions which i do not feel at all. I am really worried and ordered for a fetal monitor. Went to the ER several times just to check my baby’s heartbeat . am I alright?
Thank you sweetie, i read somewhere PROCARDIA reduces blood flow (and also to the fetus) . I had a miscarriage last time at the same exact time.
i am using 10mg. I read this is a class C medicine and i was told this is perfectly normal to take it..Really worried and getting restless. Anyone, please advice..thank you
