Common Questions and Answers about Prometrium for 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.
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.
187316 tn?1386356682 Turns out I am 1 cm dilated and that my cervix is low (its supposed to be high). Well they took a swab of my who-ha to see if I was at risk for preterm labor and I guess it has come back today as being positive. Now I am on full bed rest with meds to stop contractions and I have to go to the hospital later and get steroid injections to make sure the babys lungs are developed in case she decides to make a extra early appearance.
Avatar f tn well i just went into early labor on sept. 23,2009 and unfortanatley my boys only survived for a week...but to get to the point...if you dont feel right taking them dont and ask your doctor for an alternative. 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.
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

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..

Avatar n tn The last appointment i had, I asked the doc if I should get off of it, but he said to stay on because progesterone is also used to prevent prevent preterm labor. I find this whole experience ot be confusing and illogical because at 16 weeks he was just gonna let me stop taking it cold turkey. It was only after persistent questioning that he reluctantly informed me that I could wean myself off of it for 4 days.
Avatar f tn does the progesterone shots up that prevent preterm labor does it actually work it actually work??
11587059 tn?1427628263 They're trying to stop preterm labor from happening. I've been on prometrium for two weeks now. So I've been having straight contractions for a while. I can't tell if it's the flu, I'm going further into labor, or if I'm really dehydrated...

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 Has anyone tested positive for preterm labor and actually went into preterm labor? My doctor called me and told me that I definitely came out positive for preterm labor and I need to get to her office as soon as possible to start me on steroid shots.
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..

Avatar f tn I had a preterm labor scare 2 days ago. I was given the shot and it helped for aboit an hour, then I was given the pills which finally killed the contraction. I was having them about 3-5 minutes apart. I'm 32wk3days and contractions arw back. Should I ask my doctor about the steroid shot?
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?
Avatar n tn Hello ladies, i visited my doctor today for a check up & she told me I'm at risk for preterm labor. I understand than young women 17 and younger are at risk. I'm seventeen, turning 18 in ten days. This is my first baby, 28 weeks & two days, 5'3" & have gained 27pounds throughout my pregnancy. But really, you cannot tell. Any advice? Should i be worried? Make early plans?
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.
212720 tn?1304375415 I was told that never to come off before 12 weeks and even tey check you and your levels are good on them that is not always how they wil be off them. Low progesterone can casue preterm labor! I had my kids at 3 1/2 , 5 , 9 1/2 weeks early and the last one at 23 weeks gestation. If you have any spotting or ANY cramps after you stop then you need to go back on them. Aways aske for another month if they quit you at 12 weeks then if you ahve any problems you have some on hand till you see the dr.

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?
