Patient's question:
I had two miscarriages before this pregnancy and got pregnant again. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I explained the situation to the doctor. He prescribed progesterone for me to help prevent another miscarriage. I am very afraid of losing this child again, so I want to eat more, but I've heard that taking too much progesterone can lead to difficult labor during childbirth. So, I'd like to ask, what are the side effects of taking progesterone during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Natural progesterone is highly effective in preventing miscarriage and is the preferred choice for prenatal treatment throughout the entire pregnancy. There is no evidence to suggest that taking progesterone is associated with dystocia. Of course, medication should not be used blindly, and more is not always better; it should be used based on specific needs. It is recommended to check your progesterone levels before starting medication and select an appropriate dosage based on the situation.
