<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I am 28 weeks pregnant and recently experienced light spotting. Since then I have lost my plug and am experiencing braxton hicks every few minutes. My tummy has started to become painful and uncomfortable with the braxton hicks but I know theyre not actual contractions. This is my second baby. Is there something wrong? Should I go to hospital?  <response>: HI, I have read your query understood your query. Actually at 28th week. Baby movements increase in 2nd pregnancy. So the muscles of uterus get stimulated frequently Braxton hicks contractions increase in number. Similarly, as the baby grows there is more stretching of uterus .as a result cervical secretions tend to increase. Still 2 of your symptoms bother me. Spotting you had also pain with Braxton hicks. Braxtons hicks contractions are not painful any time.it can be some problem with amniotic fluid decent of baby down may cause premature delivery. So I advise you to your treating gynecologist, get examined start with the treatment advised. Thanks.
