I never had to take that shot.  My first was 37.5 weeks and I had preterm labor six times and had steroids.  Second no preterm labor except the day he was born at 34 weeks.  I have already started preterm labor twice with this one. At 28 & 29 weeks. I will be 30 on Monday.  My doctor won't let me go past 38 weeks because I am a diabetic. She started me on precardia today and I am getting steroid shots next week....no progesterone.

I've been on them since about 16-17 weeks. I'm 32 weeks now and will continue the shots until 36 weeks. I delivered my 1st child 9 days late, my 2nd child 4 weeks early. So this time they recommended progesterone shots.

I've been taking it since I've been 17 weeks. I'm now 31 weeks. My first pregnancy was a spontaneous miscarriage with no warning. My second was good. My third I went into preterm labor. So they were careful with this one and started me on the P17 shot.
