Is Duphaston on the 3rd Trimester safe?

Abana

My sis-in-law who's on her 3rd trimester was given duphaston to correct her low lying placenta. Anyone has the same experience?

I also have a low placenta on my last ultrasound. My OB told me to take Duphaston so as to aid it in moving up. I heard and thought that Duphaston is taken on the early trimesters and I've never heard of someone taking it on the 3rd. But then I trusted my OB so much. I'm just not that sure of on its effects being that I also don't know anyone personally who are given duphaston on the last few weeks of pregnancy.

I do think duphaston taken in the 3rd trimester has a great difference compared to taking it on the 1st trimester. If it's safe on the latter then you should be fine.

Yes, Duphaston is fine in 3rd tri. Had an experience with it on my first pregnancy and my tween is doing great now.

No first hand experience with that med but I don't think your obstetrician will prescribe you something that may harm your baby.

Cadelaria

I second Idalia. Accredited hospitals and licensed doctors are generally trusted but doing your own homework is wiser.

It wouldn't hurt though if you yourself research on its effects on the web aside from knowing the fact that your doctor says it's safe. I do that most of the time too but I always ask you all first here at http://www.pregnancyforum.com/ if something bothers me so there...

Aw, that's just sweet! I admit, the community in here is indeed helpful. Love y'all girls!

You said it just right Idalia! Way to go!

Thanks for the replies ladies! But it's my sis-in-law that has qualms in taking the Duphaston, not me. But how I wish I am also pregnant, haha! She and her baby are doing fine now after taking that pill for 2 weeks alongside bedrest. I appreciate your comments.
