Procardia Past 34 Weeks?

[JCWhitey]

Hello ladies!  On Tuesday night I went into labor at 32 weeks, 6 days.  It took three rounds of Procardia to slow the contractions down and luckily I only progressed to 2.5-3 cm and my water stayed in tact.  They released me yesterday with a week's worth of Procardia to try to keep the contractions at bay.  I was told 34 weeks is the latest they will keep me on Procardia, but I've been hearing from others that their doctors kept them on it until 36/37 weeks.  Obviously I'd prefer to be on it much longer than 34 weeks, 2 days!  What reasoning Might the doctor have to cut it off that early?

ETA: This was not my regular doctor.  Due to where I live high risk pregnancies get transfered to a larger hospital 2.5 hours away.  I met the doctor twice the whole time I was in the hospital and she wasn't really around to answer my questions, it was mostly the nurses.  I don't know this doctor, she doesn't know me, so honestly trust isn't 100% there.  And sadly my awesome doctor back home isn't able to call a whole lot of shots in this situation.

I'm not familiar with this...but I would suggest posting this to risky pregnancies. I think there have been others with ptl and they might have insight. They might not be checking the preemie board.
