Hellobee Boards

I've heard at least one bee mention this and I know she did it. I can't remember exactly who it was but I hope they find your post. Maybe you could try the search function?

I think progesterone has been used to maintain pregnancy for a long time. My mom had the shots with both me and my brother. I would be surprised if there aren't longer studies out there. Maybe you could ask your Dr. Mine also wants to do the shots next time since lo was born at 35 weeks.

I had them with my daughter who is 4 months old and totally great, because my son was 6 weeks early. I think for me they were a great thing because I was able to go to 38.5 wks with her. Premature labor runs in my family and my son was in nicu for ten days. I think if he was 36 weeks with no problem I may have hesitated to do them- not because I would worry about the effects on the baby, but more because it's tie consuming to get them every week and I'd worry about upsetting the balance of hormones in my body unnecessarily. In my case I had no problem laboring and pushing out a bigger baby than my first, but it was a concern of mine that my body may not work how it was supposed to by basically starting off with an intervention. But at any rate, they worked really great for us and I was soooo glad I was able to take dd to full term.
