progesterone injections

So I'm 25 weeks & 4 days and am currently getting P-17 injections (progesterone) weekly and recently have had to go back to work.  Has anyone else had to return to work while trying to get through a high risk pregnancy?

I started getting them since I was 16 weeks but missed my last one on Friday since I wasn't aware the office would be closed. I continued to work till last week because my boss is out of town so I started my maternity leave already. Haven't had any issues. I'll be 37wks on Friday which if I make it, will be my first fill term pregnancy.

I have been getting them since I was 20 wks. I'm now almost 35 wks and I work 3 days a week. I'm high risk due to having my son at 25 wks via c section. That was 12 yrs ago. I haven't had any problem with them other than itching where the injection site is and it gets a lil sore. I will be having them up until I get my c section at 37 wks.

I did the shots from 16 to 35 weeks. I worked all the way to 34 weeks when I started early labor and dialated to 3cm. I got my shot late that week and when I did get it the labor stopped. Still waiting for labor to start back up. I'm now 37 and a half weeks.

I've been on them since 16 weeks and have been working full time. They haven't caused me much of an issue, sometimes sore at the injection site but otherwise no problems. I'm 26 weeks currently and will be on them until 36 weeks.
