"Don't worry," said the doc. "Those are just contractions."

Alright listen up, buttercup. The joke is that the pregnant woman is shouting words that sound like contractions, which is a medical term for when a pregnant person's uterus tightens as part of labor. The doctor is making a pun, because, well, doctors think they're funny. Which they aren't. You probably thought a contraction was something like a sneeze. You're dumb.
