Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion irregular contractions at this gestational age is not good.Its better to rule out the causes for contractions like urine infection,dehydration etc which are most common causes .Have adequate fluids upto 3 litres.Consult a gynaecologist to rule out preterm labor by examination and necessary investigations.Dont worry treating the cause will cure the condition.
