    I'm 32 weeks4 days all day I have been feeling tighness in my stomach off and on... very painful but I was wondering if they're real contractions or Braxton hicks. Should I go to the hospital?

    Are you timing the contractions? Do you know how?

    Time the contractions from the beginning of one to the beginning of the next for an hour.

    After an hour are they regular? By this I mean every 6-8 minutes for example or are they irregular 6-15 minutes then 4-10 minutes, for example.

    My advice to you would be to go to the labor and delivery department you are supposed to deliver at and get evaluated.
