Is the stomach ache and contractions coming soon, is it about to give birth?

Ask
Hello doctor! I'm near my due date and have been having severe stomach ache for a few days now. But to this day, the pain in the stomach and cramps is more. So the doctor asked me, is the pain in the abdomen and the contractions are about to give birth? Do you need to go to the hospital yet? Ask your doctor for advice.
I would like to thank you!

Hello!
In my case, the doctor doesn't have enough information, I don't know what time I am pregnant this time, how many weeks pregnant, is there any abnormal history... abdominal pain 10 minutes, how many episodes, bleeding vaginal water does not, ... so it is impossible to conclude that the abdominal pain and contractions are about to give birth. However, the closer to the due date, the more careful you need to be. Ideally, you should go back to the obstetrician-gynecologist at a reputable medical facility or one of the nearest Vinmec Health System hospitals nationwide to be examined and diagnosed by experienced specialists. Is that exactly labor contractions?
Thank you for trusting and asking questions to Vinmec. Best regards!
