Women who are allocated to the study group will receive vaginal progesterone 400 mg [Prontogest® vaginal pessaries 400, Marcyrl, Cairo, Egypt], once at bed time starting from 26-28 weeks of gestation and till 36 weeks of gestation or delivery (which is closer); while the other group will serve as controls. Patients will be followed up till delivery for the incidence in antepartum hemorrhagic episodes.
