Doc has put me on progesterone injections in first trimester and im a little nervous about it. MIL keeps saying so many injections theek nahi. Just wanted to know from others who took them, did it feel okay?
Please don't worry, progesterone is just a hormone that supports your pregnancy and keeps the baby safe. Doctors only give it when it's absolutely necessary to prevent complications. Take a deep breath and trust the process.
Actually, many moms are prescribed progesterone to support the pregnancy. I took them too during my first trimester and now I'm successfully breastfeeding my healthy baby. Just follow your gynac's schedule.
Yes, it is very safe if your doctor has prescribed it. I had to take these injections while staying at my maika, and my mother made sure I took proper bedrest after each dose. Trust your doctor and family.
I completely understand how scary it feels to take injections during pregnancy, I used to panic before every dose. But honestly, it is very safe and standard practice to prevent complications. Just ask your doc to explain the benefit so you feel calmer.
Beta, if your doctor has advised it, then definitely take it for the baby's safety. Along with injections, eat good home-cooked meals, drink warm milk with a little saffron, and don't lift heavy things at all.
