Contractions?

I Am 36 weeks and i have been feeling some pain kind of how period cramps feel like,, but they are not consistent,, it happened once last night, again in the morning and 2 more times throughout the day,, who else experienced this? Does this mean the contractions will keep coming more close together? And if yes how long will it take for labor to come?

Braxton hicks get worse the further along you get. If they were real contractions they would be regular and get more intense

I had the same thing! They're braxton hicks, but you're getting closer to your due date so they get worse slowly. That's what my doctor told me!
