Should natural progesterone be used during pregnancy?
In his book, "Premenstrual Syndrome & You", Neils H. Lauersen, MD, from the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, states that natural progesterone maybe helpful to maintain pregnancy. However, synthetic progestins should not be used because they may adversely affect the developing fetus. No adverse effects on fetal development have been reported when natural progesterone was used during pregnancy. Dr. Lauersen says studies on the offspring of women who took natural progesterone during their pregnancies have given birth to especially well adjusted children. Dr. Dalton summarized her 1968 research of 90 children whose mothers received antenatal progesterone compared with matched controls. She noted that more children of mothers who had received antenatal progesterone were still being breast fed at six months; more were standing and walking at one year; and at 9 to 10 years of age, more had demonstrated superior performance compared to the control group, in academic subjects such as verbal reasoning, English, arithmetic and craft work. Both groups were equally developed in physical education. None of the antenatal progesterone mothers experienced toxemia during the pregnancy; in the control group, more than half experienced toxemia. The cream is not only safe for use during pregnancy, but is also recommended. It is suggested to be used from conception to delivery, applied primarily to abdomen, breast, low back, and upper thighs (where it will tend to prevent the skin from stretching). For the first two trimesters of pregnancy (the first six months), use an average of one half to three quarters of a teaspoon two to three times a day. The cream is also useful for post partum depression which many women experience after childbirth.
