Hello! Small Intro- We are expecting baby girl #2 and I have GD and a history of preterm labor.
My water broke at 35 weeks last time (and I was then induced with Pitocin after 7 hours of no contractions or change), OB wants me to consider Progesterone Therapy in either suppository or injection form. They aren't 100 percent sure it will help, but they state it won't harm either. Can you ladies share your experience with me?

Oh! And I forgot about this from one of the studies I read: preemies who were born to moms who took 17p had a much lower incidence of typical preemie problems, like NEC and ROP.
