Summary
The purpose of this research study is to determine the best medication to stop preterm labor.
Recent studies have identify nifedipine and indomethacin as the two medications that are most
likely to delay delivery for 48 hours, decrease maternal side effects and decrease some
complications related to preterm delivery to the neonate. Both of these medications are
commonly used to stop pre-term labor, therefore it has become our institution's standard to
use these two medications in the setting of preterm labor. There have been limited studies
comparing these two medications directly.
A total of 450 participants will be asked to participate across all study sites.
