I am just learning about the use of Wild Yam Root capsules or tincture in some cases of women experiencing preterm labor and am interested to know if there is any evidence that continued use through pregnancy is a good idea, or whether it's really just to be used when someone is actually experiencing actual contractions.
Since it mimics progesterone, from what I've read, it seems it could be helpful in supporting a relaxed uterus throughout pregnancy. I'll be receiving the p17 injections this time around with two preemies under my belt, but I'm interested to hear if anyone here recommends this for prophylactic use as well. I'm thinking if I ask my perinatologist he might not even know what it is.
