Hi,
At 33 weeks uterine contraction indicates that it's time for laboratory in the near future.
It's called Braxton Hicks contraction. Usually it's not painful and it goes on its own. but you should take care. And have plenty of juice and fluid for proper hydration. Don't lift weight. Avoid anxiety and stress.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
