premature lab
"My first child was born at 30 weeks, so Makena was highly recommended when I became pregnant the second time.  I started taking it when I was 16 weeks along. Have to say, the shot really did not hurt.  I also had no side effects.  I made it to 37 weeks with my second, it was great!  Only downfall to the drug is cost; I was so lucky my insurance fully covered it. Wonderful drug, worth the trouble of getting it every week to not have another preemie."
