Prometrium and preterm labor

Common Questions and Answers about Prometrium and preterm labor

prometrium

Avatar f tn Once it is working on its own they say there is no need for the pills. However they will put me on shots becasue of preterm labor starting at 14 weeks and I will go off the pills at 12 weeks. I will have two weeks with nothing! Scarey to me. Do you have a history of preterm labor? I know lots of woman that do great once coming off the pills or suppositories.
Avatar f tn I was on prometrium first 12 weeks due to high risk for miscarriage and I am now 29 weeks and feel great.
8197902 tn?1408058802 Don't know what to think. Beyond worried for my daughter. Met with my second doctor today to discuss my short cervix and now I'm on bed rest, have to take prometrium capsules vaginally at night before bed, and have to do weekly visits to monitor my cervix. If my it shortens anymore then I'll be on hospitalized bed rest. I'm 22 weeks and I just hope I don't go into preterm labor. I'm praying I can carry to at least 37 weeks..

11587059 tn?1427628263 I'm in preterm labor on bedrest and pelvic rest was given prometrium a week ago. I was having contractions every 4 minutes that would last for 54 seconds and as of tonight they are every 3 minutes lasting a minute and 4 seconds. I'm in so much pain and discomfort and they only told me to take Tylenol. I wake up every hour or 30 minutes for the past week. I can't take this anymore.. why can't my baby boy just be happy to be in!?!
440684 tn?1204742363 I think you have to be at risk for preterm labor, or like me have had a preterm delivery for them to measure your cervix on a regular basis. With a normal pregnancy they wouldn't do it b/c the more they "check" you it puts you at risk for dialation and infection. When I get measured I get measured by transvaginal u/s and they only insert it half way do a quick measurement and remove it.
Avatar f tn Well my doctor said that other than it being common to go into early labor is common but he said i have a weak cervix so he recommands me getting a cerclage they stich ur cervix on the 3rd month that prevents going into early labor. and he says it always works.look up online to reead exactly what a cerclage is and ask your doctor if that would be the right thing for you. hope it helps.
Avatar f tn I've been on progesterone meds since five weeks and will stop at twelve weeks and start injections at sixteen weeks completely safe

11587059 tn?1427628263 I'm only 24 weeks and 5 days and already 60 % effaced...
1695391 tn?1372191651 sorry for the late reply sweety i didnt realise you had wrote back to me .. thank you so much for spending the time to talk to me.xx they didnt look into my levels at all hunny .. im so worried for next time, were trying again in november after ive been back to the hospital on the 5th of october so see what they say ...
187316 tn?1386356682 I saw on your page your are 32 weeks 6 days? That's when I went into preterm labor and found out I was 3-4cm dilated and 60% effaced. After spending 4 days in the hospital I'm now on bedrest, too. Do they have you taking this stuff called Procardia every 6 hours to stop contractions? That's what I'm on and it makes me all dizzy and have Really bad hot flashes....but as long as it is helping my little one grow a little longer :-) And don't worry too much.
Avatar f tn 3cm at 28 weeks so that puts me at risk for preterm labor. They percribed me progesterone pills to insert daily until 36 week she said it could or couldn't help that the decision is mine and so I definitly want to start it since she said it could help and wouldn't hurt. Ladies what are your oppinions on progesterone? And if you have been on it what was your ecpierence???
Avatar f tn I'm currently on progesterone due to previous preterm labor with my last son. I started at 16 weeks and will be off of them by 36 weeks. So far, for me the only side effect is gaining weight more rapidly. I did feel more energized after starting them too..
188576 tn?1287719062 t afford to go to the hospital each and every time like I did with my second pregnancy which preterm labor started at 24 weeks. This time around I have done so much better and have just now started to dilate. I am 2cm and my cervix is super short. They put me on bedrest and on Prometrium. Has anyone else been on this???? It makes me super sleepy and groggy and I have two girls under the age of 4 to tend to here and there when my hubby isn't home.
10038802 tn?1408235140 I take the 17p shot cause my daughter was born at 35 weeks I was in preterm labor at 32 weeks and thet stopped it and gave me steroids to help mature her lungs. I am now 36 weeks today and dilated to 3cm and 90% effaced im far enough along where they wont stop my labor. Hoping Tuesday at my appointment ill be sent to labor and Delivery by then ill be almost full term. Im ready to have my daughter.
Avatar f tn That condition is known as placenta previa you will most likely need a c-section and need to stay away from over exertion. STay in contact with your doctor any thing out of the ordinary let him know. This can be serious so make sure you completely understand all your risks. Being aware and informed is your best bet and will help keep you and your baby safe.
Avatar f tn I went into preterm labor for the first time a week ago Friday. It was very "light", though and they said it was more like "uterine irritability". We wouldn't have even known about it (I didn't feel any contractions, except a few BH) if we hadn't gone in for some scary bright red bleeding after sex. They did say no more sex, though, which is causing some emotional irritability, lol.
Avatar f tn I have also heard that if ur preggo with twins which I am its good to keep taking the prometrium to minimize the chances of premature labor. I want to know if I should stop the prometrium or keep taking it until my 12w checkup. What do u guys think?
1103592 tn?1274753561 I was going to be put on the shots to keep my uterus quiet becasue of my history with preterm labor and all preterm births. I forgot a pill the other day and cramped all day long till I figured out I forgot a pill. I had went to the bottle and even poured my water then got side tracked some how. IT freaked me out!!! My progesterone is very high on th epils but if missing one pill does that I would not want to come off of them.
Avatar f tn I started having preterm labor when I was around 30 weeks pregnant with my son and remember feeling like the baby was going to fall out from the pressure. I would make a doc appointment and have them check you. Some pressure is normal depending on how your baby is positioned will determine how much you feel it.... but always better safe than sorry.
10219953 tn?1426171839 So these preterm labor contractions are annoying I have high pain tolerance so what usually a 4-5 to me is a 2-3 and that's how the contractions have felt and their just irritating.
212720 tn?1304375415 I am now 10w2d and am thinking that he would start taking me off of them. I am on 400mg prometrium nightly.
6851231 tn?1391019504 Hi everyone. I'm 28+4 and this morning I woke up with a lot of pain in my abdomen.. it also hurts in the butt area like I have to go to the bathroom TMI sorry. But I don't have to go. This pain hurts so bad that I can't even sleep because of it. I was also told I could have preterm labor due to test coming back positive for preterm labor. I'm scared and I am first time mom. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
Avatar f tn So today I was tested for preterm labor and the test came back positive. So I was sent to l&d where they monitored me, gave me a steroid shot to develop babies lungs, and sent me home. They said to watch for contractions and come back in if they get worse. I'm now having really bad back cramps, like I'm getting my peroid. They are pretty constant but have times where they get worse. They hurt so bad they are waking me up from sleep. Do you think I should go back in?
Avatar f tn Are your doctor not worried you are already dilated to a 3? I would be concerned about preterm labor!
