Painful contractions at 32 weeks

Posted by ears (318 days ago)

Had a sleepless night last night due to contractions which came with menstrual like cramps below the belly. Its early afternoon now and belly is still contracting with pain every 10-15 minutes.

They're not getting more frequent or intense but are very very uncomfortable. Every contraction also comes with back pain. Pain gets worse when I stand up and move about. No other symptoms otherwise.

I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions for a couple of months now, but nothing that feels like this.

Has anyone had similar experience so early on (I'm only 32 weeks). How can I stop these contractions and avoid preterm labour?

I agree. See your doctor and he'll be able to examine and tell you whether what you're experiencing is normal or not.
