Sure.: Crinone, (progesterone gel) prochieve and Makena are all fda approved for use in pregnancy. Progesterone is a natural hormone that exists in the maternal body in high concentrations all through pregnancy - but additional supplementation has been proven to prevent preterm birth in at-risk women. Talk to your obstetrician about this to see if it is a good choice for your pregnancy. It is a safe and effective drug.
