What you are experiencing is called Braxton-Hicks contractions. It is perfectly normal. It is the body's way of "practicing" for the real thing. As long as there is no constant pressure on the floor of the pelvis or discharge of blood or liquid, the mild contractions you are feeling is not a threat. Your baby will be born when he or she is ready. The B-H contractions do not mean labor will begin any sooner than is proper.

Maybe a "show" where you are losing the mucus plug that has been in your cervix until this point. If you are also having contractions, labour is on its way. If you are not having contractions, labour may still be a few days (or weeks, but at 40 weeks probably not) away.

If my wife starts having contractions at home, should I call an ambulance?
Contractions can start two weeks before the due date to two weeks after. Contractions are only the first steps you should contact your physician to determine how far apart they are and what the next steps are. Yes, you should definitely call an ambulance. Contractions can lead to labor so you shouldn't take them in a non serious manner.
