• I'm 22 weeks and was in the hospital for a while today. They gave me 3 breathine shots, then started me on procardia. I've never heard of it until today. I'm hoping they work well. I've been taking progesterone shots since 16 weeks. My first was …

• I haven't noticed any changes in my appetite. Have you? I'm confused now too! I tried researching these shots as much as possible, but the more I looked up stuff, the more nervous I got so I quit. I never read about weight gain as a symptom and …
