Early labour at 33 weeks?

First time mum here. Currently 33 weeks. Can already feel baby pushing down on cervix and pelvis, increased braxton hicks contraction, and having loose stool for a few days now. Should this be of any concern that an early labour might be happening? Should I go to the hospital?

Should you feel uncomfortable, please call labour to let them know. They will then have you in the observation ward to put the CTG to check on the baby's heartbeat or signs of contractions. Then they will also check on amniotic fluid = waterbag level

Hi, maybe you can consider these few factors: is baby still actively moving? Are there any leakage of liquid? Are the contractions getting stronger? Hope this helps :)
