Q: Is it going to lead into preterm labor?

I'm 32 weeks & 6 days pregnant, This is my second pregnancy. My first was a little girl now this one is a boy & this pregnancy is totally different. I been cramping, having pressure down there & having braxton hicks contractions. I ask my doctor all the time & he basically tells me it's nothing to worry about unless my stomach starts harding & contractions gets closer together. But I think I'm having way to many braxton hicks contractions this early so if anyone has experienced this could you help me out. I would rather hear things from women that has already gone through this experience. Please help me cause I'm stressing myself out over this.

Hey :)

I am currently 32 weeks. I am on bed rest for the next 5-6 weeks for pre term labour.
I was admitted to Hospital for 3 days because of minor contractions that i hardly noticed, a few of them hurt but most of them were painless and i assumed were braxton hicks. But they were in fact real ones. I have since lost my mucus plug.

This is just me but maybe call the midwife and tell them you are worried. I am still having Strong braxton hicks which most last more than 30 seconds and some are more than 5 in a hour and they take my breath away and im a little worried still. i am also having the pressure when i have the contractions and a jabbing pain in my cervix as well.. I think we know our bodies better than the doctors.
