Contractions: What you are describing is contraction of the uterus most likely. call your OB. Though these could be Braxton Hicks contractions, which are not active labor, only your doctor will be able to tell if you might be at risk of preterm labor and at 33 weeks there is reason for concern. As for walking, that is how late term pregnancy feels. heavy and the baby is pushing on your bladder.Call OB right now

Pre-term labor: You need to go to the hospital right away and be seen in Ob triage. Most hospitals have an area where you can be evaluated without being admitted. Your symptoms could represent pre-term labor. While you are there, you should be checked for a bladder infection. Best wishes!
