A 25-year-old nulliparous woman at 32 weeks’ gestation presents with abdominal pain associated with uterine contractions. Fetal movements are satisfactory. Her booking ultrasound scan (USS) showed singleton pregnancy consistent with menstrual dates and her anomaly scan at 20 weeks’ gestation was normal. Her screening for Down’s syndrome was reported as low risk. She had been a smoker but stopped in mid-trimester.
She had an appendectomy as a child. She was assessed to be a low-risk pregnancy at booking. What is the likely diagnosis based on this history? What additional history would be required to confirm diagnosis? *This case is from Docplexus editorial team for educative purpose only Source: 100 cases in Gynecology and Obstetrics Stay connected, the answer will be posted in next 48 hrs!
