Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Let me explain to you that a fetus of more then 28 weeks survive very easily so in future need not to worry.
Prontogest is just for precaution to prevent any miscarriage and good for you.
In my opinion consult your Gynnaecologist and take precaution on antenatal care . Don't be panic ,sometimes few mishap occurs .
Take tablets of folic acid and essential Vitamins prescribed by your doctor.
Good luck.

Hi,

Thanks for your query. I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:

1) The medicine is fine. You can continue as per doctor's advice.

2) Please get cervical length measured. If short, get cervical stitch put to prevent preterm birth or abortion.

Let me know if you have anymore doubts.
Regards,
