Should i get progesterone if premature labour?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Premature labor: If you have delivered a child prematurely due to premature labor, the 17-hydroxy Progesterone caproate injections are indicated. If you have never delivered a child prematurely and your cervix is short then vaginal Progesterone is indicated. Talk to your doctor.
