if it is relieved then no need to worry... <br> preterm contractions will be atleast 4-5 episodes in an hour and it wont relieve also

thanks <font color ="#3b5998"><b><u> @616d5a27c1b4770013bcb718 </u></b></font>.... my tightening is not painful and there are not any other symptom. it happens 2-3 times and eases in few seconds. yes it eases out sometimes by changing positions. what if its a preterm contraction? then what are the risks?

hello sugandha...<br> Proluton Depot injection 500mg is used to treat habitual and threatened abortion to help prevent preterm delivery in women who have had a premature baby in the past.. Preterm delivery is often the result of insufficient progesterone production by the body to maintain the pregnancy, due to a disruption on the normal hormonal cycle known as a luteal phase defect.&#160; Proluton Depot injection 500mg helps correct this imbalance and reduces the risk of miscarriage. Proluton Depot injection contains hydroxyprogesterone (500mg), a synthetic derivative of natural progesterone and works in a similar way but is more potent and long-acting when injected.. <br> A tightening sensation that spreads across the abdomen can be a shocker&#8212;is it a cramp? Or a contraction?.. it could just be that baby is moving around in there or you&#8217;re having&#160;gas. Or your uterus is contracting&#8212;&#160;Braxton hicks contractions happening randomly in the second and third trimesters, and aren&#8217;t a reason to worry. If it&#8217;s Braxton Hicks contractions, you can try switching positions&#8212;stand if you&#8217;re sitting, or sit if you&#8217;re standing&#8212;and they&#8217;ll likely go away.. If the tightening is more constant and doesn&#8217;t let up, it could be preterm- if the tightening is happening more than four times an hour, then definitely give your OB a call..
