Contractions

Hi all. I am 32 weeks and experiencing contractions every night for the past week. Idk why they only come at night but I don't experience them during the day. They are to the point where it is difficult to breath through them. I don't want to call my doctor because they will only tell me not to worry but I can't help but worry. I don't want him to come out too early

Thank you ladies! I was worried but if they get any more intense I am going to go ahead in to labor and delivery.

During my second pregnancy, I had contractions from about 32 weeks on but they were always irregular so the doctor just said they were Braxton hicks. I ended up being induced 11 days after my due date, so it doesn't always mean early labor.

I have been experiencing them as well since week 34, now I am 36 weeks in and get them at night as well. I don't think you're going to go into labor early, your body is is just preparing for babies arrival and dilating for the big day!

If you are really worried go to labor & delivery next time the contractions start. Have you been checked to see if you've dilated any?
