So Wednesday a nurse from my OB practice called me to tell me she had found a numbing cream that was safe to use during pregnancy and that would hopefully help with the pain associated with my weekly shots! OB prescribed it, and I tried it yesterday. I have had 8 shots so far, and this one, by far, hurt the least, during and after the injection!

It is called Lidocaine and Prilocaine Cream. It is pretty amazing, so I thought I would share. I would imagine it would help with all progesterone shots (maybe all intramuscular shots?), not just the ones to prevent preterm labor.

Has anyone else tried this stuff??
