امرأة حامل في الأسبوع ٣٠ عندها تاريخ ولادة مبكرة، تشتكي من ثقل في الحوض وإفرازات مخاطية زائدة وانقباضات غير مؤلمة متكررة. ما التصرف الأنسب؟

A woman at 30 weeks with a history of preterm birth reports pelvic pressure, increased mucous discharge and frequent painless contractions. What is the most appropriate action?

1. Rest at home without any medical assessment
2. Hospital assessment for possible preterm labour
3. Exercise more to relieve the pelvic pressure
4. Drink herbs to strengthen the uterus

Answer: B) Hospital assessment for possible preterm labour. Preterm labour signs can be subtle: pelvic pressure, discharge, back pain and contractions. Early assessment allows steroids and neonatal preparation.
