Progesterone shots and pending birth

in 3rd Trimester
I am 36 wks and 3 days today.  My first DD was born 7 weeks early so I had progesterone injections for 20 weeks and just had my last injection 2 days ago.  I was wondering if any other moms out there had these injections and when your babies were born.  I only know 2 people who have had these shots and was wondering if other moms made it to 40 weeks or if they delivered earlier?  Feeling as though I am ready and waiting now!

    I've heard of the suppositories as my supervisor had them for the short cervix also.  I had the injections to prevent pre-term labor as my first child was born at 33 wks because my water broke.  The injections are intended to prevent pre-term contractions, water rupture, etc.

    I wanted to let everyone know that I delivered my LO at 37 wks 5 days after being induced.  Babies heart rate was dropping during my contractions during an NST thus my Dr recommended induction since I was considered term.
