Dear Mumma,

The fact that you bled in the first few weeks of pregnancy suggests that there is problem in stabilizing the pregnancy due to Progesterone deficiency. Hormone Progesterone, as its name suggests helps the stabilization of pregnancy. Considering that you have Progesterone deficiency, your doctor had prescribed you Primolut N pills. These pills are Progesterone pills. It will not cause any harm to your baby, in fact it will help stabilize the pregnancy. So please follow your doctor's advice.

I hope this was a useful advice for you. If so, you may post your review so.
