I stick other people for a living but I don't think I could give myself IM injections. Is it common to take this if you have a history of preterm babies? As a NICU nurse I feel like I should know about it but this is the first I've heard of it and have never seen it mentioned in anyone's intake history. Then again, I guess if it worked they wouldn't end up in the NICU so that makes sense why I've not heard of it :)

I *think* the progesterone in oil is only common if you have a history of PTL. I've heard a few cases (on birth boards) of women going into labor immediately after d/c'ing the shots. But most OBs stop them between 34-36 weeks if you make it that long but better a late-term preemie than earlier. You make a great point, hopefully the shots are working in your area and the babes aren't ending up with you!
My OB is pretty convinced that my abruption is what brought on the PTL, but we're doing everything we can to prolong this just in case.

The day I told you about it I got a flu shot and had blood drawn too. But then there's also this and the needle goes all the way in my leg.

I have such a fear of injections--I feel for you. :( It will all be worth it in the end though!
