What Causes Stomach Contractions During Pregnancy?

Hi, I am 32 weeks pregnant with twin girls. I had mucus discharge a few days ago; it lasted for two days. The past two days I have felt like I have a cold. My stomach contracts every time I stand up and now my back is starting to contract with it. When I sit down it all stops but hurts to just sit or lay down. Am I going into early labor? Should I call my physician?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion as you have pain only during certain types of postures like standing it might be muscular pain only.But there is a complication of preterm labour in twins due to oversistended uterus.So i suggest yo to consult doctor and get an examination done to rule out any preterm pains.Take panadol for pain.Take rest.Avoid physical strain and intercourse.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres to prevent dehydration and urinary infections as both of these also might cause preterm pains.Take rest.
