And the doctor checked me out down there and said my cervics was thinned out 50% I'm only 23 weeks is that good or bad??

True contractions can be from a bladder infection the bladder can contract with one. This had happened to me and I was not pregnant. You can get uterine contractions when you are dehydrated.

It's really common to get bladder/kindey/urinary tract infections whilst pregnant, and after.
I had it three months after giving birth and it was so painful. Back pain labour.
Drink lots of fluids.

I did the same thing. Drink lots of water/sports drinks and rest. Take all the atibiotics and it should stop them.
