ask: Progesterone Injections to Prevent Pre-Term Delivery?
Okay--I have a personal question that I would love input on!
I was talking with my new OB/GYN today about having a second child (not for 1-2 years...I'm a planner!!!), and since my first delivery was 2 months pre-term, I was told that any subsequent pregnancies will be "high risk",and basically, I told my new doc. that I wanted to know what I was in for.
The M.D. said that there have been studies showing that progesterone injections (I think she said progesterone?) weekly during pregnancy, for women with a history of pre-term delivery, has reduced the number of pre-term deliveries (and, I assume, has lead to healthier babies and less-terrified moms).
Has anyone heard of this, or received these injections? I would love more information about this!
