Hello
Thanks for writing to us
33 weeks pregnancy with discharge of mucous plug and back pain indicates preterm labour pains
It is better get an ultrasound done to see the funneling of the cervix or get pelvic examination done by a gynecologist to see the cervical opening.
Till then take strict bed rest
Isoxsuprine hydrochlorode and antispasmodics should be taken under doctor's guidance and prescription
Regular BP check up is required
Amount of liquor and approximate fetal weight can be calculated by ultrasound
Best wishes
Take care
Any further query is most welcome
