Can delivery occur in the 35th week of pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 35 weeks pregnant, and I am experiencing strong lower back pains. My lower abdomen gets hard for five minutes and then stops. Last month, I did have this pain and felt like my legs were just locked. My sister told me that my breathing scares her because it sounds like I am in pain or tired when I am asleep. I also have this white-yellowish discharge with some thick clear mucus-like thing. Should I be worried, or is it normal? I did my SONAR this month, and the sonographer told me that I am too close to giving birth. So, I was wondering if it is possible to give birth at 35 weeks.

Please let me know.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Do not worry. I am here to take care of you. Yes, of course. It is possible for delivery at 35 weeks because the fetal lungs have matured, though the baby will be premature and small in size. So for the other symptoms, I suggest you take two tablets of Acetaminophen 500 mg orally thrice a day after consulting your treating physician. Do more locomotion from one end to the other.

I hope this helps.

Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Regards.
