[quote=Anonymous]I’m currently on progesterone injections (Makena) due to preterm labor with my first. I started at 18 weeks and will have to continue until 37 weeks. I don’t know any known risk to the baby but there are side effect to the mother like any other medication. They do hurt to the point you want to slap whomever is administered it (mines are given in the back of the arm) and it will be sore for 1-2 days after. I have developed little knots which are common and they do away after birth/injections stop. I also have notice I’m very tired but it’s all worth it to keep my little guy cooking until 39 weeks when I’ll be prepped for a scheduled c-section.

My injections are covered through my insurance and therefore, I have a specialist from care connections that reach out once per month to check in to see how things are going. They are required to do this until baby is born and in addition to my OB, I was able to asked them questions about the injections and they also said it’s safe. [/quote]
