I am 25 weeks pregnant and had regular cervix checks to make sure that it wasnt dialating. As of last week, I have been dismissed from those appointments because my cervix is perfect. However, now at 25 1/2 weeks, my doctor wants me to get weekly progesterone shots? Why is that? They aren`t covered by insurance and I thought they were to keep the cervix hardened. Any ideas or thoughts?

This time around they placed cerclage, prescribed shots from aug until jan and i carried and delivered 39 @wks. The shots help the body to do its job better. Mine were covered by insurance. Best wishes to you.
