braxton hicks?

ok, you would think I would know this, being pregnant for the the 4th time, but I can't remember...

when is it not braxton hicks anymore?

I'm almost 21 weeks, and today I got like 5-6 contractions that started out like normal braxton hicks, but it got way more uncomfortable than usual, and lasted a really long time, like 3-4 minutes instead of the usual minute or so.

what could that be? maybe just my uterus is getting old and tired? lol...

I shouldn't be worried, right?
