Im 25 weeks pregnant and my doc prescribed me tidilan tablet since week 18 & changed it to duvadilan since week 21 now i?m prescribed with duvadilan retard capsule, should I switch or continue with tablet? I hav pain in lower abdomen that grows severe downwards towards mons pubis which makes it difficult to even sit stand or walk properly. I?m already on complete bed rest since baby is low. How long will this pain persist? It was not so in the first baby?s case, that was completely normal.

Hi. Every pregnancy is a different experience for any woman. Since you are still having the pain, you should continue with duvadilon retard as prescribed by your doctor. Also, continue with bed rest. The duration of pain cannot be predicted per se, but your gynaecologist will know the best as she knows your history and ultrasound findings. All the best!

Hello lybrate-user, pain in the mons can be normal in pregnancy as the ligaments of body relax especially around mons causing pain. Many times duvadilon gets prescribed for something that's completely normal. It can also be a sign of miscarriage, labour as well as infection of urine. It all depends on how your pregnancy has been so far, how were the past pregnancies. Has there been any leaking or bleeding so far. How is your urine report. However complete bed rest can be dangerous, can cause clots in legs. One is advised to not do heavy work, lift objects, bend forwards like when sweeping floor, sexual intercourse but that's it. Doesn't mean one should be in strict bed rest.
