Hello doctor. I am 27 weeks pregnant, recently I have had contractions that make my stomach hard, painful when walking or sitting, sometimes when lying down the contractions also become hard. The frequency of contractions is 10-15 minutes/time, sometimes closer.

When I had a routine antenatal checkup, it was 37 weeks, how many days, the doctor diagnosed the beginning of my uterus with signs of dilation and uterine contractions, so I was hospitalized. After 4 days, the doctor examined the uterus and said that 1 thick stool was still open.

am 31 weeks pregnant. Since this morning, I have had a dull stomach ache like menstrual cramps. Doctor, can you tell me if it is okay to have a dull stomach ache at 31 weeks pregnant?
