I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I believe I'm contracting... I've been having these pains in my lower abdomen, along with pressure since the 8:00 hour last night... they seem to be getting worst... I've eating twice & used the bathroom to eliminate hunger & gas... the pain still exist, seem to be getting stronger, & has been coming in intervals... I'm very uncomfortable & sitting still or lying down is an issue for me right now

Hi Sgood17,

If these have continued, and have gained in strength and consistency, contact your doctor or midwife. How frequently are you having them? Is there any pattern or are they inconsistent?

Go to the hospital. If you are having contractions, or even think you might be having contractions, go to hospital. Don't mess about because it's 32 weeks. If you are in labour, you want to be sure your baby is not at risk of an unplanned home birth.
