Sulindac

The perinatologist would like to start me on a drug called Sulindac.  Sulindac is non stereodial anti-inflammatory drug.  While not its primary role, it has been used to help treat pre term labor and in decreasing the amniotic fluid level in mom pregnancies.  

Not being much of a "drug" user, the decision on whether to go on Sulindac is not an easy one to make.  Because there are so few momo twins we are basing our decision on the limited information we have and the experience of my health care providers.  By decreasing the fluid, the babies would have less room to maneuver in therefore limiting their ability to further tangle their cords.
