What Causes Painful Contractions During Pregnancy?

Hi there, I m currently 34 weeks pregnant. 4 weeks ago I was in hospital with contractions and they gave me 2 steroid shots and tablets to stop contractions, lately I ve been getting contraction again on and off painful sometime every 5 minutes some as far away as 10-15 min, my main concern at the moment is I ve been passing bloody mucus and have been losing a little bit of fluid not enough to soak a pad or anything but with my first pregnancy I had a hind leak, should I just wait and see a gp to check my waters and dilation or should go see a doctor today at the hospital

Hi,
sorry for your problem,
Dont worry most probably its false labour pain.
Before you admitted with this pain,
they given steroid to mature your child lung.

You can take the tab before they prescribed for this pain.

And little per vaginal dischage ,can happen.
You have to take proper bed rest.
If discharge and pain continue then go for health care facility.

Dont worry, hope all will fine
