Hi, welcome to HCM. Gestin or a progesterone supplement is safe in pregnancy, it is used in cases of Placental Insufficiency, i.e. inadequate functioning of placenta. However, most clinicians prefer using this medicine in 1st or 2nd trimester of pregnancy. If your baby is not growing properly, you must pay attention to your diet, take iron and calcium supplements regularly, eat high protein diet and take bedrest besides keeping yourself free from mental tension. Take care of the rest of your pregnancy.
