A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most Likely: How many weeks pregnant are U? Yes, it could be contractions (Braxton Hicks). If you are experiencing more than 5 contractions per hour, then it is best to go to Labor and Delivery for monitoring to rule out preterm labor. This is only if you are more than 20 weeks pregnant. Since you have morning sickness, you could be early. drink lots of water and check for urine infection. Good Luck!
