Anyone taking Makena???

Question

Just wondering if anyone is taking Makena shots that go in the back of your arm? I’m experiencing itchiness and lumps under my skin for at least a week after the shot. Anyone else experience this? 
Thanks!

Answer

Put ice on it

Answer

I am . Been doing it since week 16 and I’m almost 25 weeks now . I was getting them in my arm but I couldnt do it anymore as I have a 1 year old I have to pick up so I’ve been getting them in my bottom . But we rotate cheeks each week . Mine has knotted up a little but not to much as I massage mine anyways to try and get the stinging pain to stop . It hurts so bad to me , I tear up and get upset on my way to mine done 😭

Answer

Yes I’ve been taking them since week 17 I’m 22 weeks tomorrow but mines is being injected into my upper butt hip area it knot up depending on which nurse does the injection but I was told to massage it
