Hello,
Thanks for the query to HCM ,
Meprate is not teratogenic to the foetus at all and hence you can rest assured that you child is safe . This is a synthetic progesterone and similar to what is present in the body and hence function in a similar manner as it would naturally perform in the body. It shall support pregnancy further and hence you need not be worried.
Wishing you safe pregnancy.
