A member asked:

What to do if i'm 32 weeks pregnant, 3 cm dilated, 50% effaced, and i have been having a lot of contractions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call doctor: If you are having more than four contractions an hour, you should contact your doctor or birthing center. Having regular contractions and being dilated is a risk for preterm labor, and at 32 weeks, you should call your doctor.
