A member asked:

I'm 38 weeks pregnant, my stomach is tighten up constantly but it's not painful. should i go to the hospital?

Maybe: You might try lying down and drinking a lot of water and see if it calms down. If it doesn't, you might want to call and talk to your OB. If he or she has checked you and you are already dilated, you may need to go in and get checked.
