A member asked:

33 weeks pregnant and experiencing frequent braxton hicks and menstrual cramping about every 10 minutes for the past 3 hours. should i be checked?

Cramping: Yes! As soon as you can, preferably today and with someone to take you to the nearest Emergency facility. Things should work out OK.
