Brief Answer:
Not worrisome.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The pain in the cervix and the uterine cramps at 32 weeks pregnancy are a normal finding. These are XXXXXXX Hick's contractions and usually subside with rest.
In case the pain in the cervix is recurrent and is severe then a direct examination is needed to rule out any cervical lesion like polyp or erosion or an infection in the area.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
