Beginning makena shots or generic 17p shots soon.the clinical trial showed an increase in miscarriage and stillbirth.i start the shot at 16 weeks due to delivering at 36 weeks.should i be worried about the increase risk?are the shots safe?

All potential things: that have or could happen are on the product information listing. Pregnancies that are at risk for preterm labor have the miscarriage and stillbirth risk with or without Makena. Risks and benefits have to be considered. If you and your doctor agree on benefits, this should be as safe as is possible, and better than preterm birth issues for baby.
