Past Health History


Mrs. MGS was born via NSD. She was delivered at term at 39 weeks AOG weighing 9 lbs. at a
lying-in clinic somewhere in their place. She was fully immunized as a child. She stated that
she already experienced chicken pox and measles. There were no drugs given to her as a
relief. Mrs. MGS does not have any history of hospital admissions nor past surgical
procedures. She only experienced common illnesses such as fever, colds and coughs once or
twice a year and was treated at home with over-the-counter medications like Biogesic for
fever and Neozep for colds. She has seafood allergies. She had her menarche when she was
13 years old, with irregular menstrual cycle (every 2-3 months for 7 days) and consumes 4
pads per day. Mrs. MGS started to smoke when she was 19 years old, consuming 1-2 packs
per day. She stopped when she got pregnant. She also drinks alcohol occasionally. Patient
MGS also has family history of hypertension in her maternal side. Her mother and
grandfather are both hypertensives.

Present Health History


Last January 18, 2022, four hours prior to admission, Mrs. MGS experienced onset of pain at
the hypogastric area sometimes radiating at her lower back associated with frequent
uterine contractions. She said there was no bloody show or watery vaginal discharge noted.
The patient applied liniment oil (manzanilla) as temporary relief but it did not work. Before
the pain began, she only does typical house chores at their home such as washing the dishes
and cleaning the house 1-2 hours before the said incident. She rated her pain scale 8/10.
The persistence of these symptoms prompted her admission at Tarlac Provincial Hospital
last January 19, 2022 at 7:05 am and was then noted to have premature uterine contraction
with an AOG of 28 weeks.
