Message for the Doctor
Hello Doctor,
I am writing regarding my wife, Zainab Malik (Age: 21, LMP: March 5).
For the past 1–2 days, she has been experiencing pain in her lower back, abdomen, and pelvic area (pedu). The pain comes and goes—it starts, stays for a short while, stops, and then recurs every 30 to 60 minutes.
Two days ago, during the check-up, it was noted that the cervix was not open. You prescribed Isosuch 20 mg for 5 days, and she has taken it for 2 days now. However, the intermittent pain is still persisting.
Should she continue taking this tablet, or what should be the next step? Please advise.
Note: Since lower back and abdominal pain during pregnancy can sometimes need immediate medical attention, if the pain becomes severe, frequent, or is accompanied by bleeding or

Pain that keeps coming and going every 30 to 60 minutes this late in pregnancy, even with a closed cervix two days ago, needs a fresh check rather than waiting out the course of medicine. Continuing or stopping it isn't a decision to make without your doctor reviewing you first.
Next Steps
Please go back to your obstetrician today, since the pain hasn't settled despite two days of treatment. She'll check whether your cervix has changed and whether this is early labor starting.
Health Tips
Go to the hospital right away if the pain becomes very frequent or severe, or if you notice bleeding, fluid leaking, or reduced baby movements.
