Please suggest me ,what should I do?
Brief Answer:
Possible false labour/non specific pain.Fetal doppler can reassure.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I can certainly understand your concern.
As per your description, the possibility of labour pains and its onset is extremely rare.
Since all the parameters are within normal limits, these pains could be false labour pains.
At this point, its important to assess the fetal heart sounds through electronic fetal heart doppler.
Likewise, a single oral dosage of PANTOP 40 mg can help to reduce the pain.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe the above pills and fetal doppler to you.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you
