Brief Answer:
Get your serum progesterone levels tested.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Dubagest is normally given in case there is any placental abruption or bleeding or a history of recurrent or threatened abortions. The cause of taking Dubagest can be low levels of progesterone in the body. At 31 weeks it is usually not needed. It is best to get your serum progesterone levels evaluated and discontinue using it after consulting your gynecologist if the levels are normal.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
