Overview

The purpose of this study is to see if daily use of vaginal progesterone will prevent preterm birth in women carrying 2 or more babies.

Women who are pregnant with twins or any higher order multiple will be approached to take part. Women will be randomized to get either vaginal progesterone gel or a placebo gel daily from study entry until 35 6/7 weeks. Women can enter the study between 16 - 20 6/7 weeks. Two hundred women will be recruited to take part. Data will be collected on the women and their infants to see if the active medication prolongs pregnancy.
